I appreciate your suggestion, Michael. Only one problem - I'm not using ANY proprietary drivers! If I go to System, Administration, Hardware Drivers, I come up with the message that "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system".
I may be misunderstanding what you want me to try. If my answer isn't what you're looking for, would you please spell it out for me? I'm not well-versed in the intricacies of Linux and can use any help you might be so kind as to provide. Are you implying that maybe there's an ATI driver compiled as part of EMC that I need somehow to disable? Thanks for your help! Dennis From: Micha?
