dexter11 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 The new Xorg in 2006 has issues with the opensource video drivers on some machines. Read the Errata and the Release notes. A solution can be if you use the propietary drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
