OpenGl problem with mobility modder

Fabriziodavid · Jan 19, 2009, 12:48 AM

I had a problem with opengl program on winxp after installation ati driver modified.
Has been sloved with this modfy on registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Dll"="atioglxx.dll"
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Version"=dword:00000002

It's correct?
Thanks!

Change the original "Dll" value to "atioglxx.dll".
I met the problem when I test WoW.exe -opengl mode last night,
and I'm going to check whether this modifying can solve it.

I worked well. Thanks.

Thank you very much. I had this OpenGL issue for a long time but I didn't have an idea where to look to fix it. Pleae add this usefull fix to mobility modder

I had to use this registry fix to get OpenGL working with a modded Cat 9.6 install on my notebook with a HD 3450. Without it, the OpenGL subsystem was only seeing MS's basic GL emulation.

I don't think this fix is valuable for XP x64 versions, am I right ? I am still getting the Microsoft Generic GDI thingamajig after this mod.

testing with xp64 - - - -
I am using XBMC to verify if opengl is properly installed because it is very dependant to this engine. Usualy, after installing mobile ati modded drivers, xbmc refuses to launch telling "couldnt find any opengl drivers".
After applying this reg fix it says "xbmc couldnt launch because it detected that the default microsoft opengl was detected... Contact your videocard distributor" ....

So yeah, there is probably something "more" to be done with xp-pro-64... :P

In regedit, it gives 2 folders instead of the one spelled up here, in the last opengl folder.. And both uses the same ati file, atio6ax2.dll. Folders are named "atifglws" and "ati2dvag"

So mayby the x64 version of the fix involves changing 2 files instead of a single one.

I will reboot right now so i can verify if the additional fix will make it!

The 3dmark benchmark ttool wont load either if this fix is applied. And is running again after reloading backup lines.

OpenGL fix for Windows XP x64:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Version"=dword:00000002
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="atioglxx.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\atifglws]
"Version"=dword:00000002
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="atio6axx.dll"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Version"=dword:00000002
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001

"Dll"="atio6axx.dll"

By applying this patch I get OpenGL on my HP dv7-2043cl (WinXp SP2 x64). But ogl is just 1.1! Any better fix for that?

This is a better fix for XP x64. For some reason it doesn't fill in the path before the dll files in their normal position on some systems, so it helps if you spell it out a little more clearly for windows:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Version"=dword:00000002
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="c:\windows\system32\atio6axx.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Version"=dword:00000002
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="c:\windows\SysWOW64\atioglxx.dll"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\atifglws]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\atifglws]

The other two folders (atifglws) seem to be leftovers from earlier driver versions (8.xx?) and aren't actually necessary. It runs fine on my laptop if I delete them both, and my desktop which never had a driver version older than 9.8 doesn't even have the atifglws settings present. They also don't seem to do anything on version 9.3, so I've included a line in my reg file to delete them.

You can confirm the fix using OpenGL Extensions Viewer

Hope that helps the folks who are currently stuck with this problem.
