I don't see that issue, but then I'm using an nVidia card and their
drivers, so it sounds like it may be an issue with the ATI drivers that
only shows up due to specific kernel options.

If you were interested, and you had the spare time, you could go on a
kernel building frenzy changing the various options one at a time to
find out exactly which one was the problem. The only problem with that
is you would really need a long time to do all the builds and tests,
unless you had a really fast system and probably were using SSD to
speed things up even more.

Yes, it's ATI. And their drivers install the default kernel, so they
probably know it.

Well, I think I'll do it, but during weekends, so I don't know if I'll
by done before the next release of Linux ;-)

Thanks,

Salvatore.
