when I run nexuiz or urban terror after a few seconds my keyboard and mouse will lock up and random horizontal triangle will start jutting out in all directions. I would give a terminal output but I can’t as it forces me to restart my X server
I have an ATI radeon 9550 with 256MB of video ram
All of the graphics tests run flawlessly and I could run nexuiz before without a problem
Have you recently upgrded to any of the newer ATI driver versions. The one that preceded 8.51.3 seems much more stable that the current one from the repository. I don’t suffer lockups but Urban Terror has developed display glitches with the above version.
I just installed the latest version. I didn’t use the repository
There could be your problem, ıf you switch to an earlier version do you have the same issue?
where would I be able to find an earlier version
You could add the ATI repository in YAST and get that way howver there do seem some unresolved issues with the most current driver on there.
Alternatively you can get from
Previous Radeon® Series/Motherboard/Notebook Display Drivers for Linux x86
One thing to note here is if you select 8.5 or 8.6 the ATI site directs you back to 8.7 for some reason.
So here are the dırect links to 8.5 and 8.6 respectively for you

Only thing I can’t do is talk you through the downgrade and installation procedure but if you do get it to work please leave a message
