updating my ATI drivers did the trick for me. Now everything works perfect!

The new drivers didn't fix the problem on the Mobility 5650 but I only had 15 minutes to play with them. I tried all the usual settings in the video section but still have the same problem. Tomorrow i will do a complete driver scrub and start from scratch.

Well, I've not had a chance to compile a new build from svn - my house is a germ factory this week! I did try to install build 34955 from sshcs, but I can't get it to run. keeps crashing. .. looks like a known issue with VS2008, which is what i have, and I don't have time this weekend to install VS2010 - i guess i'll have to wait!
I'm ALSO not able to update my drivers to 10.10 for some reason! When I try to install, it stops recognizing my monitor and my tv, and will only display at 640 res on the tv, with like 16 colors or something. Incompatible video mode, I guess (?)

Trunk is bugged only with VS2008 in release mode. Debug mode is fine and Dharma is fine in debug and release.
Good the hear that 10.10 fixes some of the breakage, it seems that each release fixes a bit more but it's still not perfect.

Good advice, I'll start with guru3d.com and see if there is anything there. Will post results when/if I have them.
Cheers

Thanks Bas but that won't work for me. Acer prevents users from installing newer ATI/AMD drivers. Thats why I need to go look for 10.10 hacked drivers for the Mobility 5xxxx.
cheers
