Hi Gyorg, Same problem for me using ATI's fglrx driver. I'm using 8.39.4. I haven't tried 8.40 because of known issues with it and Google Earth. I didn't have these weird screen effects until I "upgraded" to 8.39. I think that 8.37.6 may not have had that problem but I'm not 100% sure. I have an ATI Radeon 9550 card and I'm running the 2.6.22 kernel (on lenny). Does anyone know if ATI is aware of this issue? I solve it by using Kaffeine running a film in full-screen mode as a screen saver otherwise if I leave the machine unattended for 30 minutes I have to do Ctl-Alt-Backspace about 20 times until I get a usable screen back.
