I have an ATI card too, [X800XL PCI-e/256MB], and am not experancing the
problem you described. I have AA set in the Catalyst control panel & in-
game with no ill effects and AA is present in the game.
The difference may be in the GPU chip used on the cards.

I've got the X800XT-PE, Using the 5.6 drivers and I see that. Though I've
seen that for several years. In FarCry and in HL2. I also saw it whether I
was running Win2K or now XP. Not sure why, but it's probably a more times
than not if I have AA turned on in both locations, they seem to cancel each
other out.
