[MG] ATI video problem.

[John McGibney]

Tried both ATI's install CD and the 10/02 update. same problem with both.
Some games have problem in both 9 and X. Jedi Knight 2 (carbon plays in
either) for example. Someone else mentioned the Quicktime 6.1 as a possible
cause. I do remember it as being a cause of a lot of quirks.
