Can you tell more about your particular variant of bitmap corruption? It would also help if you precised which Ubuntu release you're using.

2.11.14 is available in my PPA. Can you test it and report whether it fixes the issue or not?

Sorry, it's 2014, and the geode things were way too slow, especially with the 100mbit ethernet. We've switched all (or most) that are used as desktop computers to Zotacs (with gbit and faster cpus and nvidia video cards).
