Ok, thanks for the feedback. I've been waiting for the open source |
| 13 |
drivers to mature so that I can rely on them for my needs (incl. |
| 14 |
gaming). Perhaps it's time to check them out... But, again, since I've |
| 15 |
been running the ati-drivers-10.6 for a couple of weeks without problems |
| 16 |
(that includes previous versions of firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey) |
| 17 |
and I upgraded thunderbird, firefox and seamonkey at the same time leads |
| 18 |
me to think that something's changed within these apps (and I only have |
| 19 |
this problem in those three apps)... |
