did not help. I tried to copy the driver from Mandrake (where it worked correctly) and it did not help either, still the same problem. I think it's not driver dependant for me, it has to be somewhere else than in a driver. I also tried 4.1.0 driver, which was displaying the colors correctly, but it did not work either. Maybe you could help me fix the freezing bug in 4.1.0, which works :). The problem occurs, when I move windows, resize them or play a movie (so in some intensive situation). Then the screen turns while with several black vertical lines. It's a hard freeze (can not ping the machine, the keyboard does not react). Then sometimes when I push the reset button, I have to press it again, because system starts booting without video card initialized (or at least I don't see the display). J.
