</div></div>Hey,<br>
I have the same motherboard in my frontend but am using Ubuntu 8.04.<br>
Using ATI's 8.7 drivers I have this exact problem, but I didn't have<br>
it using 8-3 or 8-6. I still have curruption on channel changes<br>
between resolutions (SD to HD and back) but escaping back to the menu<br>
and going back to the tv fixes it.<br>
I had tried 8-7 to fix the above issue but rolled back because it<br>
introduced more problems than it fixed for me.<br>
I haven't tried 8-8 yet, hoping though.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
