I am running the open source radeon driver. I have tried fglrx before with negative results.
My current drivers seem to be working as they did when I was running ubuntu 7.1 with a working mythtv...

htpc@HTPC:~$ glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
htpc@HTPC:~$ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

And my Packages:

xserver-xorg-video-all:
  Installed: 1:7.4~5ubuntu15
  Candidate: 1:7.4~5ubuntu16
  Version table:
     1:7.4~5ubuntu16 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
 *** 1:7.4~5ubuntu15 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Regardless of if my video card is the problem or not (I don't think it is), it's about time for me to get a new one... thinking NVidia this time! I might just do that today. I will try to keep you posted.
