It sounds like the interrupts on your video card are causing some
difficulties.  Since Taras' last colorkit kernel is rather old, I'd
recommend getting a kernel which you know works with your machine and
card (GENERIC#1??, assuming that it supports LKM's, which it might not)
and then obtain a copy of the LKM (loadable kernel module).  I'm pretty
sure that the FAQ explains how to set it up.

This might work where Taras' kernel does not.  If you need to get the LKM
to work with recent -current kernels, let me know (there have been a few
changes since Taras wrote the LKM, so I've got some patches to work around
that).

I hope this helps.

Later.
