I had previously installed and removed the ati driver (from livna)
because it was causing some distortion on my desktop. I did not have
time to deal with the problem then so its been on the back burner for
awhile now. Just yesterday i reinstalled but nothing appears to have
changed. The difference is now I would like/ want to use 3d
acceleration. The distortion appears on the bottom of the desktop. The
top of my screen is reappearing over the bottom 2 or 3 inches of the
screen. The computer remains usable but some programs are affected more
than others by this phenomenon. Obviously I would like the distortion to
go away. I haven't seen this issue using the livna drivers with other
Fedora boxes but those have different video cards than this one.
My video card is an ATI Radeon X1800 256MB. Is there some modification
that can be made to xorg.conf that will fix this? Has anyone seen this
problem? can anyone point me to a solution? I am in the process of
researching a solution using google, bugzilla, and this list. Any and
all responses welcome.

Have you tried the latest drivers directly from ATI?
