I run a system with a Sapphire HD5750 graphics card.  I have the latest 
drivers which I downloaded from the ATI site installed on my system.  
Each time a new kernal comes down (like tonight) the graphics on my 
system stop working and my system becomes unusable.

What I have to do is uninstall the ATI drivers (I do this in recovery 
mode), and then reinstall the ATI drivers from the ATI site.  (I take  
this opportunity to get and install the most recent version of the drivers.)

Someone out there more knowledgeable about the Linux kernel may be able 
to advise why a new kernel breaks the ATI drivers.

Hope this helps.
