ibh1960

I have been rummaging on the internet without finding any solution to my driver problems and I am hoping that some one might be able to help me here. The ATI 8.10.19 drivers work about 50% for me. 2D is mostly fine, whereas 3D hangs up my system within 15 sec. Although glxgears and fgl_glxgears work most of the time. I have also experienced the odd hangup whensswitching to a VT, and the video signal being out of range. The latter mostly after having run one of the glxgears apps.

I have appended my system setup below

I really hope some one cahn help me out here.
Thanks in advance

i had this very same problem with slack 10 but the older ati drivers. all worked fine except hangups when in 3d mode. searched all the web and didnt find any info except trying older x.org versions. can't actually remember if i did, so may be u just try it out... do understand ur frustration mate...

edit: oh man i just saw u usin the 2.4 kernel. update to the 2.6!!! the older one causes problems with the ati drivers...
