firegl 9000 Problem

I have an IBM ThinkPad T40p with an ATI FireGL 9000 card running the latest
drivers from the IBM Website. I fooled around with both the mobility modder
to add Catalyst drivers and the Omega drivers. However, I was not pleased
with the results and uninstalled. Now here is the problem. When I open the
laptop from hibernation it shows "static lines" on screens. These lines
look like snow on an old TV.
Can anyone suggest the cause and cure?

Thanks

Mark

Check that you have selected the correct monitor - LCD panel, and that
you have not inadvertently selected other than a 60hz refresh rate in
the FireGL properties. Try setting all props to Default.

Sorry, I misread your post. With all the experimentation you've done,
I'm suspicious that all of the changes in the ATI driver/kernel might
not have been removed when you reinstalled the IBM ATI driver. I would
try removing the ATI driver from safe mode and rebooting at least once
from a standard VGA driver, and then reinstall the IBM ATI driver. If
incorrect kernel data or registry entries are hanging around, a sort of
clean reinstall might correct the problem. You might inquire from IBM's
site how to do a clean reinstall of the ATI driver, if there is a KB on
it.

Alternatively, you might do a system restore from before you started the
experiments. That might be easier and cleaner overall.
