Terry, are you using UMS or KMS? I have stability issues with UMS. KMS
seems much better stability wise (performance wise is the other way

I'm curious what type of artifacts you see, and when/where you see them.
I get artifacts only in Google Earth (running it with software rendering
solves it, but is much too slow to use). Card is rv280.
