I'd like to point out that I was not trying to harass the guy into shutting up unless he can fix the problem himself. I was simply making a suggestion that he get more involved in the process if he felt the issues were that important. From his original e-mail, it sounded to me like he was fed up with sending reports and wanted a fix -- who better to fix the problem than himself since he's obviously concerned about it. Now, on to a solution to his ATI problems: Disable DRI by commenting out the following lines in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file: Load "glx" Load "GLcore" Load "dri" Reboot the machine, and let us know if you're still having problems.
