I wasn't even aware that there was a rendering problem with Radeon 9700's. o.o;
I still see avatars and prims rendering in different shades though.

From: Torley Linden Including some long-awaited bug fixes (that dreaded international "special characters" one) and IMs NOW HAVE TIMESTAMPS!!! Get it. =] Yet, oddly, no mention of the first in the release notes...again. This is not a good pattern... Another unmentioned bugfix: vert shaders screwing up av hair (non-prim). Though now object LOD is borked, which affects av PRIM hair (and other attachments)... |

It wasn't just Radeon 9700's. I had problems with avatar rendering on my Radeon 9600 as well, and this fixed it. Specifically, hair rendered completely differently with vertex shaders turned on.

Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean. I have the latest drivers for my Radeon 9600. Catalyst 6.4 I believe.

I had the latest drivers too, but when I would turn on vertex shading my avatar would go all flat and not animate at all. Plus all transparent things would render with a sort of rainbowish hue. Then I switched to the latest Omega drivers and all was well (and I picked up an extra 2-3 fps in the main grid as a result. ^.^). But the default drivers as they were, rendering was screwy and needed to be fixed, which it has been apparently.
