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.
