1. do 'xvinfo' to make sure you're using xv
2. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/XFree86.0.log (You didn't say
what distro you're using, so I'm assuming Fedora of one sort or another)

Chances are you might not have enough videoram.  Since it's the onboard
video, some bioses have the option to allocate more ram to the video
chipset.
