43 I tried also updating to a newer Version of xorg-xserver als well
44 using the 3.0.0.-generic-12 .
45
46 Neither did it.
47
48 The problem seems to be gone with a Linux Kernel 3.1.0
49 (no-gentoo-patch). I using now the lastet ATI-Driver from the Webpage,
50 but can't tell how stable it is. I'll see it in around a week.
51
52 But thanks for the help!
