<div>There&#39;s only only problem I&#39;ve not been able to fix:</div>
when using apps that frequently update pixmaps or<br>
send Ximages, the mouse pointer gets corrupted with<br>
that data. It happens with Ardour, jkmeter, japa,<br>
and others. No idea where to start... Driver is<br>
the &#39;ati&#39; module, probably it needs some parameters.</blockquote><div> </div></div><div>Is this xf86-video-ati? What card is this?
