Is anybody running DX7 on a viper 550 yet & is GPL working OK? I have read some good things about DX7 & its effect on the control interface but the last time I upgraded DX it screwed my system & GPL in particular. Given that you can't (easily) downgrade I thought it worth checking here first! Have GPL 1.02 & am using the Papy Beta Open GL thing with Diamonds 3.53 drivers. All is stable now in 1024x768 & getting fairly solid 36FPS Iain

I run DX7 + Nvidia 3.53 reference drivers since monday. GPL 1.2 with Beta OpenGL. Everything looks good, and performance is much better than with the NVidia 0.48 reference drivers I used until now (with DX6.1). I set the Buffer flipping mode to 'Use block transfer' as someone here on ras suggested. Bart Westra
