morgan.croft Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I am having the same issue as you except for I have a 9600 pro... Do me a favor.. go to start -> run -> dxdiag Click on Display.... Does it tell you that you are running a generic driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan.croft Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is when you have the LDDM drievr installed? (Shows as LDDM in device manager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBraid Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 oh right, well when i had the LDDM drivers installed they showed as LDDM, but the device wasnt named like this.. is. reason i dont use the LDDM drivers is that, it doesnt give me the effects still and lags, so whats the point if i can get very fast results from the generic drivers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan.croft Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Ah, yeah, when I have the XP ati driver installed it shows up fine in dxdiag. When I have the LDDM drivers installed, it shows says that I am using a generic VGA driver or something like that in dxdiag.. I am going to try and update the GART driver or something like that when I get home in an hour and see if that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan.croft Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Yeah, that is very true... The only thing I can think of it that is has to be something with the MB chipset because the same card works on other systems... I will post the results when I get home...

LewisBraid Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 ok, kl. tell us how you get on. tis a very weird situation, but in a way i supose it isnt as it is a BETA. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarsEsp Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I bet the problem is in the MB's chipset. I have a Radeon 9800 XT and i can't enable the DWM. I tried all drivers available and tweakvista and nothing worked for me. Then i went to the Device Manager and i found that i didnt have any driver for the agp, i installed and nothing, plus after installing that driver i got lag during dragging and opening windows even with the normal catalyst driver wich i used for better performance. Due to this my conclusion is that the chipset isnt supported. I am using a SINXP1394 MB from Gigabyte with SIS 655 chipset, specs here --> http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/MotherBoard/Pro...0%20Ultra2).htm Can anyone see if the DWM effects are working on MB with SIS chipsets and compatible graphic boards?

CheeseOnFire Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I have the exact same mobo and video card setup you have. And I have the exact same problem. Its gotta be something related with chipset. Question... If i were to have glass working on my 9800, would I be able to use the resolution 1680x1050 with it? Whenever I had LDDM drivers running the max res. I could run was 1280x1024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalfox Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 One question, since i have a asus radeon 9800XT 256MB, will i have all the new eye candy, with no loss of new features?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
