    Hello -

    I can certainly identify with your problem: it's quite easy to break your graphics with an ATI card. You might want to try opening a terminal and typing glxgears . This little application will let you know how many frames per second (FPS) you're getting. If this is low - say in the 100s rather than the 1000s - then you know that's part of the problem.

    What did you tinker with? Which settings did you change?
