Try using virtual display mode see if it helps.

The video card is a Ati 9200 se 128mb, but the driver version i don't know..i think it's the open driver because i didn't need to install anything to get video working..
And yes, the user is regular..

Giving "glxgears -info" in the console, i saw the video card driver:

"GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 8x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.2"

It's a driver possible error?
