So near and yet so far....

I am using an ati winturbo GX card and a
Sony monitor...
Having configured X11 to use an accelerated driver
for this card everything seems to work except that...
The display is messy, window frames appear as double
and when moving windows about no cleaning up occurs.

Could probably try the VGA option but that seems a waste...
has anybody got any ideas, or experienced something 
similar?
