    Im currently using the default drivers provided with stock Ubuntu 8.10 And while everything works decent, i get artifacts on sections of the screen from time to time and at every start up. These are not a big deal, but when i play video i get fuzzy lines from the bottom of the video to the bottom of the screen. odd thing is, if i maximize the video the fuzz goes away. tried the proprietary drivers but for some reason i drop a ton of frames when playing back video.
