Great that the problem is solved. Although... kernel 2.6.9?? I had to read that number a few times, and then check the post date to make sure I was reading right. That's like from the Cretaceous period or something. It's a wonder that everything else works fine with such an old kernel.
@Armin fglrx only gives problems on the more recent kernels/X.org versions. It supports offially X.org 6.7 -> 7.5

This is with a HD4890 though, not an Evergreen

Then you can either pick up a cheap HD5xxx, or continue with wondering why the drivers suck on HD6xxx. I see where this is going

The 5670 is definitely the worst choice for that you can buy... I have got one and thats no card for video playback...
Then, which card is a decent choice for under $100?
I suppose GT 220/240??????

The card needs to be able to run...
Inkscape, GIMP, Google-Earth, Cinelerra, and Blender to name a few...
That's in addition to the 2D video players and editors.
My laptop's card is a Radeon 9000 so how much better is the X300SE?
