Several cards are tossed in under the RV250 name. Which actual card or
notebook chipset is it? Some of the Mobility Radeon X1300 cards or higher
seem to have driver issues. Did you do the auto install or compile for the
kernel option? I assume that you are using the proprietary driver that does
not ship with 10.1. The proprietary driver did ship with 10.0. If you are not
using the proprietary driver from ATI that is most likely the problem.
