Here's a more recent one: |

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38792 |
| 15 |
This is in kernel-bugzilla, but seems to be a bug in the userspace part of the |

driver. |

The ati-drivers are in heavy development, KMS and all the other new shiny |
| 23 |
things. There are a few options for xorg.conf you could try. I have read about |
| 24 |
some problems with ColorTiling, so maybe setting ColorTiling to false helps a |
| 25 |
bit. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI for some details on how to |
| 26 |
do this. |
