Just wanted to chime in on this very old thread, I'm seeing exactly<br>
the same problems as described above. Anyone know of any solutions<br>
yet? I'm ready to give up and plug in an older GeForce 6600 into the<br>
PCI-E slot.<br>
<br>
My setup:<br>
<br>
GA-MA78GM-S2H (AMD 780G)<br>
CentOS 5.2<br>
fglrx<br>
Connected via DVI<br>
<br>
I'm hoping that eventually a new driver from ATi will be released that<br>
fixes this problem... but for now, I'll switch over to the PCI-E card.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
