Well their new drivers for the Mobility Radeon cards are a little bit broken still. ANY attempt to play ANY video, via any number of video players using any number of video sources results in an instant x server crash. I'm just waiting for that to get fixed, but the 8.32.5 drivers simply are not complete for Linux x86_64. This from the company you suggest specializes in video? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
