I have a similar video card and am not experiencing any problems
like this.  I haven't updated the machine in question in a while (it
hasn't been connected to the internet in months), but it was running
Firefox 7 without trouble.  I've appended my xorg.conf file below in
case it's of use.  (Oh, and I'm running the netbsd-5 branch as well.)
