Not sure if someone already mention that, but I got the Windlight Viewer today (yea i know im late *lol*) and I could run shit. All shaders are greyed out and after spending hours with fixing this kind of problem I end up on the Jira page, anyhow I updated my featuretable.txt like I was supossed to be and still ain't work *rofl* I thought there must be a damn fix cuse my Textures looked more like an old odd comic book. Well after some hours I thought about something real simple. I know as I worked with Maya to create my Sculptured prims i couldnt get it to run eigther, without changin stuff in my Control Panel. So I opend my AtI Control Center ( yeah i use omega driver ) and switched from direct 3d to open gl. after that hit the custom button, and moved the sliders all the way up. Save and Ok and back to SL. Open Windlight again, connect and well there we go, I have all Graphics like they should be :)

Sounds like you hit both Jira VWR-3272 (Returning support for ATI Mobility 9600/9700/9800, plus others that have been disabled in the code). Note that the featuretable.txt attached, only fixes the ATI Mobility 9600/9700/9800 cards, the others I assume are disabled somewhere else.

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3111
As well as Jira VWR-3111, the 256 colour cartoonish textures, which currently requires either disabling AI, increasing texture quality to max, or both.

*Please* do go back to those issues and add your vote to them, esp. as the workarounds provided by others have helped you, and if the problems are fixed, we don't have to worry about the workarounds not working in the next release. ;)

Class 3 PCI card

I posted this in Resident Answers:

/327/0e/225360/1.html

A class 3 PCI card for those of us that have obsolete PCI architecture!

Haven't tried it yet, but from what I have read, it gets good marks and provides a pretty fair frame rate!

Could be that only the Omega drivers have that option?!
