Default ATI, Vista RC1 and Display Drivers

I'm experiencing a strange Vista behaviour: I made a clean Vista RC1
installation, installed ATI drivers, when needed I rebooted. Everything
looked fine. Than I had to reboot again, and guess what - i saw an error
message "Display driver stopped working and has recovered". After couple of
seconds my screen starts flickering, and all I can see is a mouse pointer.

Default ATI, Vista RC1 and Display Drivers

I'm also having video problems with an ATI Mobile Radeon chip on RC1. It
will boot ok for a while, then BSOD, then only a black screen until I
uninstall the Microsoft ATI drivers and install the standard drivers (in safe
mode, as that is all that will get video). I can then get back into regular
Vista and reinstall the ATI drivers. I didn't have this problem with Beta2.

Well, standard Vista drives for my video card are useless - my system becomes
incredibly slow. Even start menu shows only after couple of seconds.
