Hello Iain, |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Like you, I have had some issues with ati-drivers, particularly with newer |
| 13 |
[580} chipsets. I went to an ATI site and poke around reading for a while. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I've been using 8.39.4 for quite some time on 2 newer systems and it |
| 16 |
is stable(or at least with the 3D game bzflag) and normal workstation usage. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My experience is trial and error, burning lots of time before you find |
| 19 |
an ati-driver that works good with your chipset. I'm not sure the criteria |
| 20 |
or who marks ati-drivers as stable, but, ati-drivers-8.39.4 would get |
| 21 |
an affirmative from me. |
