Check out, which driver it is. If it is version higher than > 100.14.09, than downgrade to 100.14.09 (and xorg to 7.2). <snip /> OK. I do NOT know which driver I am using.

How do I find out the answers to what you are asking? -- Best Regards, helices - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . . --
