I have an ATI 2900XT card and it seems like I have all of the usual ATI issues with SL. In trying to get rid of the terrible lag issues that occur periodically, I realized my driver at 8.2 was several versions behind the current (8.7) so I cheerfully updated to it. First thing I noticed was the same thing my wife's computer has - the menu text is distorted slightly. No big deal there for me.. So I seem to have a slight improvement from the extreme frame rate drops that occur sometimes but I have a new problem and it is TERRIBLE!
I build objects so I use a lot of ALT-Click mouse camera controls. Well with this new driver, after a few minutes of using SL, the ALT-Click stops working correctly on objects. For avatars it continues to work however. What it's doing is acting like you are trying to click on an object through a window. When you go to zoom or pan, the point is fixed in space between yourself and the object. If I log out and back in, the problem goes away for several minutes.
Now for the bad news... I rolled back to 8.6 and it's still doing it. I'm working my way back to laggy 8.2 and I just *hope* it will correct itself. I'll take the frame rate drops, but without mouse camera control, I'm out of the building business.
Anyone else seen this?
I'm on XP Pro, 2 GB, Core 2 Duo, latest SL client
