videocard problem

[mietden]

hello there hopefully soon to be friends, i have big problem. well i recently upgraded from my old vid card to a brand new jetway 9600 , using the mobility radeon 9600 chipset. well, after i had already received it (yesterday) this thing is giving me so much trouble, and i then read a review on newegg and the guy said the drivers are a nightmare to update andi i suspekt this to be a prob that is happening. the drivers on the cd dont really work and none of ati's drivers work. are there any way to fix this? also, for a weird reason direct x my card as a firegl card. the only drivers i could even moderately get this card to work are the omega drivers. the ati ones barely installed, and they also named this card a firegl. the only thing this card works in is direct3d applications. opengl completely doesnt work at all. any and all help will be appreciate by me a lot tanx

Sorry for bringing up the old topic, but I just wanted to point out that I had been using a mobility 9600 based card (not the Jetway, but Vertex brand -- LINK ) up until a few week ago with no problems. I did not try the official Catalyst drivers, but the most recent Omega drivers worked flawlessly.
