I don't know the solution to the problem you are having, I can only give |
| 15 |
some tips from experience. My first trouble shooting step would be to |
| 16 |
use fglrx and see if it makes a difference. The you know if it's a |
| 17 |
driver issue or not. You don't have to keep using fglrx, consider it a |
| 18 |
debugging technique... |

I do recall having issues with that card and xorg 7.0, but it was a long |
| 21 |
time ago so I don't remember details. Whatever it was went away with |
| 22 |
emerging 7.1 and using the latest ati-drivers. |

Which wm do you use? |
