Hi guys, I just started playing SL, and I have some serious graphical bugs. I have a Sappire Radeon HD4890 video card.

Here is a screenshot I took:

Can this be resolved in any way? Thanks!

In SL, go to preferences, graphics preferences and click hardware options. In hardware options, uncheck the box for OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects. VBO doesn't work well with ATI graphics adapters.

We really need a sticky on this. This question comes up at least every couple of days or so. Even better, of course, would be for LL to default VBO's to off whenever ATI hardware is detected. But since they're not likely to do that, a sticked "ATI Users, Read This!" would save a lot of headaches.
