That is what I was thinking but I have VERY little experience with ATI |
| 27 |
cards. I have one but only used it to install the basics of this new |
| 28 |
rig. No GUI, just a console. |

I did notice there is a xorg 1.9.5 in the tree. I'm not sure when it |
| 31 |
was added but if you are not already using it, it may be worth a try. |
| 32 |
It could fix the issue you are having. It seems you have a newer card |
| 33 |
and as usual, they can lag a little bit when it comes to fixes. That is |
| 34 |
true for ATI and Nvidia I guess. |

Glad the info help eliminate hardware problems at least. |
