Hi everyone,

I have just installed the Radeon Omega Drivers 2.6.71 on my (widescreen) notebook, which works with a Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 card (see system specifications below). Although it works in principle, everything on display is very blurred (texts and images, including the Windows Desktop). Any idea what I can do about it?

I could always return to the ATI driver that came with the computer, but it's well over a year old, and no update is officially available. Also, it doesn't work for certain games. So, advice would be appreciated.

Hmmm. Considering that omega drivers themselves have no support site of their own, no contact address, and actually refer to this site, I was hoping for some support here.

But maybe omega drivers are exclusively for those who know much about computers? I had to uninstall mine again and go back to the 14-month old ATI driver. At least, ATI will answer my emails.
