I'm using the same card with no problems. It is very well supported in
Linux. I use the "generic  Multisync" selection during setup, and this
eliminated a lot of the problems I had with other cards.
The problem could also be your window manager. I switched to XFCE, and I
find it is the best of the lot. It's lightweight and very reliable. XFCE is
available  HERE .
