You might be better off with the nouveau driver.

As far as I know, the only way to make the change is to edit
Xorg.conf[*] (keep a copy of the old one just in case it's worse after
the change) and replace "nv" with "nouveau" [and of course make sure the
nouveau drivers are installed]. 

[*] It would be nice to have all those handy little Pardus admin tools
like Panda in Ubuntu, but they're not ported.
