I get a flickering screen for 30+ sec at seemingly random intervals, in Myth Themes also in Gnome Desktop but less frequent and less flickery :-P

Myth crashes requiring a hard reset while playing HD content, happens once every two hours on average, this was with 260.19.21 on a GT220, The Gnome desktop problems are with a 7600, don't remember exactly which one. My 9500GT seems ok but I don't work that especially hard, of course all are running v256 drivers now.

It does have a new option to run the display in YUV (YCrCb) mode which gives me subtly better image quality, in between crashes...
