I have tried the KDE Live CD, and also the Fedora netinstall,
and the system is just as bad with all of them.

I don't think there is any hardware problem,
as Fedora-10 and Windows XP both run perfectly.

I strongly suspect the problem lies in the video driver.
According to lspci, the video card is S3 SuperSavage IX/C SDR.

As I said this works perfectly under Fedora-10.
Also I have 1GB RAM in this machine, which should be enough.
