As I recall some of the problems can be solved by switching your color
depth.  I don't remember if 16 bits or 24 bits causes the problem but
try switching from 24 to 16 or vice-versa and see if that fixes it.
I was having the same problems as you described when I needed to use
mplayer for something and that fixed it for me.

If it does fix it look at the latest S3 release from Tim roberts I
think I saw a note about fixing some color depth problems.
