Specifying a 9700 ID should work for 9800/9600. If you don't like this hack, attached is the patch for current CVS code. It contains 2D support for 9800/9600/M10/IGP7000/IGP9000. It also has fixes for bug 26, 193, 342(?), 351 and a few other things. I'll run a few more tests before sending it to Kevin. > Especially when there are experts here clearly stating it isn't > supported.

I guess you mean http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html. If you want 3D support now for the cards >= 8500, you can try them and they should work.
