Installed the newer driver, but am still seeing hangs. Doesn't seem to
take any very specific activity to do it. Can happen while typing email
in Evolution, or when I resize a pane in Rhythmbox. Saw an article in
Computerworld suggesting reverting the driver to an earlier version. Is
this a possibility? I like everything else about my karmic release.
