Hi!

I do not know if the original bug author still has this problem, but I 
have it since quite some time.

I had this with previous versions of xorg too.

I did not yet update to latest planetpenguin-racer, since I found nothing 
related to this bug in the changelog.

Anything you want me to try to narrow down the problem?

This is with 

martin at shambala:~> lspci -nn | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 
[Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] [1002:4e50]

on a ThinkPad T42 with a selfmade kernel

martin at shambala:~> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.22.6-tp42-cfs-v20.5-sws2-2.2.10 (martin at shambala) (gcc 
version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 PREEMPT Fri Sep 
7 14:04:48 CEST 2007

(I think this should not matter, but I can try with a standard Debian 
Kernel as well.)
