And I thought we might actually go 24 hours without mentioning WineX. Guess I was wrong. ;^D

Do we now have ATI drivers for all high end consumer cards?
Any major features missing?
Do you have to mess with DRI (still can’t get accelerated GL on this Matrox G550..) ?

I still have problems with my Radeon 9600 Pro when switching between console and X modes. The colors get all “mixed up”… have no idea why, though! Don’t know if switching between two X sessions works now. I had to switch of XDM.

pffhhrr.. does this mean that their drivers did not work with athlon CPU’s until now ??
Does not surprise me i would go with nvidia every time!! i have had a “all in wonder” and even in windows i have NEVER had all the features work at the same time i have shed blood sweat and tears over that piece of crap for hours and hours. ATI software SUCKS……… BIGTIME. It simply does not work.

These new drivers are great. I was tearing and crashing on UT2004 with the previous version. Been playing all night without a problem, and it’s alittle quicker too. Way to go ATI!
PS: How come every time ATI releases a driver a bunch of NVidia losers get on here and start bath mouthing? Do you work for NVidia or are you really just no-life losers?
