Hi,

I had problems with Vistan on a MacBook pro, svn compiled fine with VS2005(sp1 + patch), but when the viewer was realized, all I got was a black screen, and the machine froze (looks like the graphics froze).

I blame ATI and their drivers (using the latest mobility drivers from the ati site)

hardware:
Intel Core Duo
ati X1600 mobile 128mb
1.5 Gb ram

Anybody has any experience with vista & ati ?

Cheers
Mihai

Hi,

(1) Windows Vista and OSG works, after we installed the latest graphic driver, everything works like on an other windows (xp) machine.

(2) everybody in my country talk about the engery troubles and clime change we will go in in the next few years. why should the world go using vista? i don't know, or is the microsoft company powered by the engery like 2u bush. :-) Anders do you have some benchmark showing exactly the issue 20% more energy conumption using vista compared to xp. so may we can write some nice things, i guess there will be some politics being interested in such a idee, in switzerland the will add some extra tax / penalties for huge energy consumption cars, machnines and so on.

    Well, if 20% of all windowsXP users switch to vista today, the CPU
    energy consumption (even on idle) will go up quite a lot (my
    laptop is averaging on 20% doing nothing), the fan is running
    constantly, its always warm. So I would say it consumes about
    twice as much energy...

    This would also make the energyconsumption go up quite a bit.

    Not what you would like to see for the world, right?

    People will by newer faster machine to cope with VISTA, which will
    make the energy consumption go up even higher.

    Didn't Bill look at "An Inconvenient Truth"?

    Funny article regarding updating to Vista:

        Our app (VE-Suite) has been running on Vista as usual. We've
        installed it on various configs such as a laptop with a 6800
        Go card and even a lowly p4 with fx 5200. No problems. The
        5200 is using driver 97.46 (which is the only one that
        supports the 5200) and the lappy is using the latest and
        greatest. biv

            OpenGL Sucks on Vista right now.... and direct X is not

Thats what we have found any way, Nvidia is hurting on
            Vista at this time.
As a company we do see Vista a a platform right now, our
            customer base wont
            touch it for at least 2 years
