Mobility Modder: no openGL

t0y · Jun 30, 2007, 08:12 PM

I'm having trouble with the latest Mobility Modder version and catalyst 7.6.
Apparently, no OpenGL is available even in my simple apps. The GL_VENDOR string returns something related to microsoft which means it's using the default renderer, software or D3D wrapper. The D3D previews on CCC work properly, though.

I believe followed everything properly and 7.5 installed without problems.

My System: Vista, radeon mobility 9700

--t0y

PS: a question I always wanted to ask is why exactly do we need to disable UAC for the modder to work?

Will need to look at the new inf files to ee if there is anything changed and if so i will need to see if i can add it or change things in the modder so that it can get those things from the inf files itself.

About the UAC, that is because UAC could block the 2 files that convert the msi files to xml and then back.

Thanks for the response.

I'm not so sure any more that the problem lies in the mod tool. I expanded and extracted the atiogl dll directly into the game's folder and I got software rendering as well. But, using the atioglxx.dll from catalyst 7.4 it worked even if the 7.6s are installed. Maybe some ATi driver bug crawled in...

For reference, I uploaded some of the inf files of the package.
\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH_INF\CL_48645.i nf
\Driver\Packages\Drivers\WDM\AVS_T200\LH\atirt2lh. inf

Again, thanks for the response and for the hard work you guys put on this invaluable tool.
