GPL & Viper V550 ???

by Mike Fellow » Mon, 11 Jan 1999 04:00:00

Hello there

Am I correct in thinking there is a problem with the above configuration.

I have judst uppgraded my old ATI Rage PCI card with an AGP V550 and
whenever I use the mouse on the GPL menu screens the system freezes.
I have tried all possible combinations of V550 drivers to no avail.
To tell the truth I think the V550 is a load of ***and pending anyone recommending
a work round / program patch I think I'll stick the old ATI back in !!!
Cheers for now  ....
TIA
Mike

Mike,

I have a V500 and am using Diamond drivers (latest from their Website) -
generally no probs at all - using Beta 2 OGL driver from www.papy.com.
Running 1024x768

Obviously I've had the occasional lock up but then who hasn't....bet very
rare.

suggest you need to look at something else as being the cause of the
problem.

I.

PS could you p'raps configure yr newreader to post in plain text rather than
HTML

Iain,
what about the rest of your configuration?
I have V500, Beta2 OGL, but only get blackscreen in 1024 * 768, can
get it only to run in 640 * 480. Currently run nvidia driver on the
TNT. OS is win98.

Your running the external view I suppose?

Marcus.

I just noticed from my earlier post - my card is of course a Diamond Viper
550, not a V500!
