OK, i got this fixed.  Per this article on Google:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&frame=right&th=390ccd6e5262c687&seekm=2Y3I3-Rx-23%40gated-at.bofh.it#link3
I added the following options to the 'Device' section of xorg.conf:

Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" "true"
Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" "true"
Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" "true"
Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" "true"

then restarted X, and life is good again.
