Some residents (including me) were having trouble with ATI Catalyst drivers 7.5; enabling vertex shaders in the SL viewer would cause an immediate crash. (See VWR-1050 in the JIRA for more.) The bug appears to be fixed in Catalyst 7.6, which was released today; ATI users who were having trouble with 7.5 will want to download this upgrade.

Hi, I started the 'New ATI Catalyst 7.5 drivers don't work' thread...

...and I'm delighted to say that the bug seems to have been fixed in Catalyst 7.6 :-).

All settings at high, shaders enabled - everything seems to work fine!!

Grr, not for me. FireGL v5200, 7.6 drivers = crash of SL, or hang of entire system after on average 10 minutes.

Anything non-standard in your SL settings?
This is on vista btw
