I don't have the 9600, but the 9200SE. I filed a bug report over
a year ago, but my issue was different. The bug is still open,
however, and many people have posted comments to it, reflecting
different symptoms. In my case, using the DVI output resulted in
periodic blanking of my monitor to black, It would start off
slowly and increase in frequency, making the computer unusable.
The fix? I switched to the VGA output, and never had any trouble
since. That's why I asked. You're probably right - it sounds
like you may have a different issue.
