Default driver problems?

Running a 6800 with the latest stable drivers. Video playback is very dark
after a little while. Reboots clear the problem for a little bit then the
screen darkens again on any video playbacks. Is this a common driver problem
or is my card going tits-up?



I'm not familiar with your card's tits, but they seem fine. Have you
tried calibrating your display? How about tweaking your video codecs?
What manner of connection do you use, analog? digital?

Generally, variations in gamma are software troubles, easily fixed, not
indicative of faulty hardware. So that's a bit of good news, the bad
news is the stumbling upon the solution process takes too much trial and
error. Cheers!

Lastly, and this is directed at your, um, friend. Certain rips of

copy restriction techniques, just a thought.
