welcome to Ubuntu Radeon Hell :)

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and the "radeon" driver (not fglrx). With that I
also have to prevent it from mode changes, so I've put the following
in /boot/grub/menu.lst, in the "defoptions" section:
# defoptions=nomodeset

With this in effect I can run TORCS reasonably well, unless there are
many, big-size textures to load in a scenery. However you can limit
them in the Options menu.

cheers,
kilo
