Hello everyone,

First of all, my laptop: AMD 64 3500 + @ 2.2Ghz, an ATI X200M graphics card with 32 megs RAM (I can't dedicate the full 128 megs because Linux won't start) with the 8.29.6 drivers from ATI, and 736 megs of RAM. Now, before Second Life update 1.12.3 (if i remember correctly) everything was working perfectly fine. after the update, however, I noticed that after a while the textures would get all screwy, as in this image. (Just so you know., the boxy object on the far right is a refrigerator. The object ahead is not a Picasso piece, but a normal screenshot, and the objects on either side are cabinets) Other than restarting SL every 10 minutes, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to avoid this problem? I've tried many things, including dedicating more vid memory, with no success. Thanks in advance :)

Edit 11/06/06: Nevermind. I decided to, unfortunately, revert back to Windows for 3D apps. ATI, Linux, and 3D just aren't playing nicely together.
