ATI video issue on Lenny
Hi there,
Is anyone having any issues with ATI latest drivers rending the screen (blank) useless to use at random times, this doesn't allow me to use the ctl+alt+(F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6) to restart Xorg? But instead requires me to press the recycle button. This happen often.
I wanted to see if it was only happening on Lenny AMD64, so I tried another Linux AMD64 distribution only to have the same thing happing again, so now I have switched back to Windows to see if it is a hardware or software issue....So far the ATI drivers for Windows has been solid so far and has not render the screen into unuseable mode, as I have been running it for nearly two days straight without the screen becoming useless on me and no need for me to RMA on the motherboard.
After concluding that it was the ATI drivers for Linux and not hardware fault, I wish to get back to using Debian as soon as possible.
The motherboard has 512MB onboard video, with the memory coming from system RAM. My current hardware setup is
