Aero Glass on Mobile Radeon 9600

[áÌÅËÓÁÎÄÒ îÁÞÉÎËÏ×]

I have Asus notebook with Radeon 9600 Mobile (128mb). So, it may support
Aero Glass. But it does not. I cant turn it on: on all Vista builds,
starting from Beta 1 and finishing 5342!



1. On ATI`s WDDM drivers I have working Vista but without Aero Glass; at
Device Manager there is error about video.

2. XP`s drivers does not works (BSOD on booting) - so I cant turn on Aero
by registry.



So, WDDM drivers, that supports my video, does not work with Aero Glass: I
have an none detected video, but Vista works well in this mode. So, help me
please! Thanks!

https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=19933
(page of Vista beta drivers)

So, why its not supported?

Sorry, should have made it more clear. The cards will be supported, but the
graphics beta drivers are only compatible with a certain number of cards.
You should try downloading the drivers... or if you have Aero Express
running, try pressing Ctrl + Shift + F9 and wait a few seconds - you might
have Glass working without you even knowing )

Windowblinds 5.0 does a great job of having transparencies, shadows and
other effects,
with a tremendus amount of cards...

I can understand why vista is so snobbisly demanding...

There should be a HACK to enable glass on more cards...
