Using the above option fixed the problem, yet made scrolling unbearably 
slow. So unless there is some fix for that, I guess I'm stuck with the 
text problem.

I'm using the radeon driver, for what it's worth.

My Xorg log identifies my chip as follows:

(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon 9800SE AH (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4148)

I don't suppose a fix is currently available, but it's nice to pinpoint 
my problem, to some degree. Thanks a lot for your help.
