I've installed the latest ATI Catalyst drivers from the ATI download site. For the most part everything works perfectly - but the Visual Effects are not enabled when I login. I have to run the "Appearance" application and turn them back on. Once enabled they work perfectly throughout the remainder of the session (hibernate and suspend have no problem as one might expect). Also, FYI, the proprietary fireGL drivers from "Hardware Drivers" doesn't work at all with this particular configuration. I'll be happy to provide more information. I searched for a quite a while before posting this, but couldn't find anything that described this situation. Thanks for reading.
