1 Hi Johannes and every friend of the list :D.

3 Johannes two things:
4
5 1.- I think (i guess) it's better install the 8.36.5 ati drivers, because
6 the 8.32.5 ati drivers is too bugs and is better have the actual driver, you
7 can download from the ati page and put on the portage distfiles and install
8 it.
9
10 2.- If you don't like the 1 then look here :

13 that persons have a problem very similary to yours.

15 Well about your question I think, check your kernel configuration Graphics
16 Drivers, you have to unmark the ATI modules of the kernel. At last, I had
17 the same problem with 8.32.5 my laptop frezee and the only thing what can I
18 do was reset using the Power bottom; and the solution was install the
19 8.36.5ati driver, believe me.

21 I hope be helpfully to you, Have a nice day :D
