I don't think it's that - your a.out X server binary should be fine.
I have a Riva TNT based card myself (STB 4400) using the XF86_RIVA
binary on the net which is a.out and works just great.  1600x1200x32
is no problem with this beast. :)

I think this is a different symptom of a different (kernel) problem
but I don't know enough about the new clock code to suggest remedies.
Perhaps phk or Mike will speak up.
