What driver were you actually using when you re-emerged ati-drivers? I 
have a Radeon 9800 SE and use a 2.6.10 kernel, but of late I've noticed 
that this combo fares badly if I don't actually start up with the vesa 
drivers before re-emerging the ati-drivers (as opposed to starting up 
with the old version of fglrx, which won't load from modules.autoload.d, 
but will kinda half run in some weird fashion using MESA if I start X).

Of course, all is normal after (yet another) reboot, as long as there 
were no "DRM driver not built" errors during the ati-drivers compile 
(lately there have in fact been other warning errors, but the module is 
in fact built and works fairly well).

Also, what version of the ati-drivers are you using? Most of them are 
flakey, but some versions are flakier than others.

HTH,
Holly
