Thanks for your replies. |

I was compiling gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r5 and thought, let's give |
| 15 |
ati-drivers-8.20.8 a chance, and emerged it for 2.6.15-r1. I seems to |
| 16 |
work so far (~5 logouts and ~10 switches to console). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So my working combination is (Rage Mobility 9600 on Dell Inspiron 8600): |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 |
| 21 |
ati-drivers-8.20.8 |
| 22 |
|

I'll leave it at that (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?) |

Thanks again. |
