ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 - issues

New Toshiba laptop with the above mentioned card-cannot use 'Shaders' in WL (1.20.15)

Catylist Control shows version 2008.0130.1509.26922

This is a toshiba satelite notebook #8825

Basicaly, when i enable 'Basic Shaders' in preferences, the avitar 'disappears' only hair and shoes worn seem to remain

A little dissapointing, as my older dell notebook had a Mobility X300, and that did work.

Any ideas on how to make this work, or does LL just not like ATI cards all that much and nothing i can do about it?

Dear Jackson,

please follow the JIRA Link, and read about it. Unfortunately you're one of the penalized ppl, sitting in the same boat, when using a ATI Card with SL.

I've been experianced strange behaviour like Textures mismatch, very slow rendering during Texture load and total SL Viewer crash, right after login with a ATI 4850 card, using the latest ATI Driver v8.8.
I've opened a JIRA issue, right here: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-8717

Please login to JIRA, and VOTE for this issue, so it will become more & more importand to be fixed ASAP. This is the only way to get rid of this delayed attention of Linden Lab, to support ATI Cards PROPERLY in the SL Viewer!

This urgently need to be debugged and fixed by the LL developer team.
Hey Guys, since the ATI 4850 Card is so rockin' cheap while it bring's a tremendous boost to your PC, it'll be spread on the market rapidly during the next month. So this has to be paid attention...

If you VOTE for it, also WATCH this issue on JIRA, so LL will notice there's a lot Users out there, using a ATI Card and struggling with the SL Viewer (wich is btw the ONLY application/game nowadays, that has such problems with a ATI Card).

Thanks for your attention & voting for this, to help a lot of SL Residents, playing SL with a ATI Card, BETTER.

Cheers,
Dandare
