I don't remember why I updated; possibly the problem I was having is gone anyway. I'll try to go back to default version. > The graphics hardware you're using is also quite old, and not very well > supported. I've been using an HD4200 for several years: it's listed as "Works" on the AMD-GPU-Matrix page and I've been very happy with it. AFAICT, HD4250 should be the same chip (RS880), just with a slightly higher clock and some dedicated RAM, so I thought it would work as well (and with the same configuration). I understand the devil is in the details, though. > Which driver are you using? Sorry, I do not understand that question. I'm using xf86-video-ati-18.1.0,1: is this the info you wanted?

I'll try this too. bye & Thanks av.
