    Have you tried the latest drivers directly from ATI?


No i had not but i am going to. The livna driver is just the ATI driver repackaged isn't it? I didn't think there was a substantial difference between the two.

the livna driver is the same driver, properly setup so it doesnt overwrite other important files. The ATI .run file will cream your xorg setup. Use the livna drivers.
