I hope you can find something there that will help you since the links to "supported" developers pages are there. I often 'march to a different beat' myself, so I can understand buying a graphics card from someone other than NVidia, but I don't think I would have bought an ATI (even though they're a "Canajun" company, eh. ;-)) until the driver projects have had a bit more time to gel. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org A definition of teaching: casting fake pearls before real swine. -- Bill Cain, "Stand Up Tragedy"
