Matt,
I agree with the points made about memory - although I guess with a
PowerBook expansion options are limited.
It would also be worthwhile checking that X is configured correctly. The
latest version of X (4.1) uses the driver "ati" for all the Rage family.
Earlier versions use the driver "r128".
You should find this information in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. The utility
Xautoconfig4 can be used to create a new XF86Config-4 file.
