T60p - Vista 32-bit FireGL problems

#1 Post by brentpresley » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:31 pm

Anyone gotten the ATI WHQL drivers (NOT the ones that ship w/ Vista) to install?

I need OpenGL functionality and the Vista drivers from MS do not work.

Please take a look at this thread, it talks about the FireGL drivers for thinkpads that don't really work:

ATI driver are still broken with open gl. As far as i know either nvidia nor ati are providing vista drivers with enabled open gl.

Here on my TP with ati rtm drivers even the hole open gl settings tab would not function.

So still have to wait until they ship new drivers.

Nvidia's drivers work just fine w/ OpenGL. Been running them on my desktop for a month.

I would BET that ATI's work as well, but I can't get them to install.

The beta drivers from ATI say there is no video card detected (they probably haven't added the FireGL to the installer config), so they just fail to install.
