What driver do you use for it? Does it have any problems when playing
video using the XVideo (xv) extensions? When I attempt to minimize the
video ouput window, my Radeon (VE) has the irritating tendency of
obstructing the screen with a freeze frame of the movie I'm playing.
This only goes away if I exit the movie player software.
