Sweet.  Trust me, upgrading those drivers is almost as important as
keeping your system secure.  They are probably my worst experience in
Linux - matched only by a very weird bug in OpenLDAP which turned out to
be a permissions problem caused by udev default permissions of 600 on
/dev/urandom (SSL failed to initialise).  I'm currently running version
8.20.8 of the ati drivers (On Gentoo - only one way to live Linux:  be
one with the source).  This also seems to be the newest version
available - so just maybe I'm lucky.  Not that I feel very lucky right
at this moment :p.
