Hi all,
I'm having the same problem with my Ubuntu 9.4 with an "older" ATI
graphics card (Radeon Mobility X1400) that is apparently no longer
supported by ATI so I'm using open source drivers. Unfortunately,
the suggested fix above did not work. Has anyone else run into this
problem and/or found another solution?
Best,
Mike
