Everybody,
ATI just released the Catalyst 3.5 driver series for Radeon graphics cards. For Radeon 8500/9000/9100 this driver works just fine. For Radeon 9500/9700 it has developed a new problem where objects sometimes flicker in front of the terrain. This is usually immediately visible -- there is not usually a delay.
This is a driver bug, not a Second Life bug. I have spoken with ATI about this. They have drivers in the works fix the issue. But it's really frustrating.
Graphics card driver recommendations:
Radeon 8500/9000/9100 - Catalyst 3.5
Radeon 9500/9700/9800 - Catalyst 3.1
Sorry for the bad news,
James

I got ahold of a Radeon 9000 and it's messed up 3 computers. The driver/programs won't uninstall and the video cards don't work at all on my 98se or my windows xp. The windows xp refuses to boot when I try to use the driver. I threw it out, got another geForce and am happy, except for the ATI programs that won't uninstall!!  My 2 cents

Thanks for the heads-up James. That is disappointing news indeed.  Aside from the new problem... what about the previous issues (texture corruption, etc)... have those been fixed in the new driver? At least if those are fixed it gives me hope... |
