opengl support in catalyst

Ananas · Jan 1, 2007, 07:39 AM

Using an OpenGL extension utility it seems as though the drivers I am using (Omega v3.8.252) for my ATI 9200SE, only have 100% support for opengl 1.3, 86% for opengl 1.4, 66% for opengl 1.5, and no support for openl 2.0 or 2.1.

As stated from the Omega website, ATI no longer issue driver updates for the card I am using, but is there any way in which I can improve the opengl support, such as by using a newer atioglxx.dll file? (and would anybody know what the latest version is?)

Thanks.

You can try to use the atioglxx.dll of the newest catalyst release!
It may work, just try it out!

There was a 6.11 release for older cards http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/x...rer300-xp.html

If there is any increase in capability to be had, that is where you will find it, but the llimitation in OpenGL support may reflect the hardware capability - not sure what level of OpenGL would be equivalent to DirectX 8.1 hardware.

Thanks for the replies and the link, I will give it a go and see how it works.
Update: Replacing the atioglxx.dll didn't make any difference. I think I will wait until the Omega cat 6.11 drivers come out and see how they go..
