Glass on Intel 900?

[Guest]

I installed Vista Beta 2 (build 5384) on a Dell Latitude 120L that has 1.25GB
memory and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. I activated Vista and my
performance factor is 2. I cannot see Aero Glass anywhere, just the standard
themes. Any ideas? Thanks

That graphics accelator is not supported by WDDM (Windows Display Driver
Model).

The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 on both the Intel® 945G and Mobile
Intel® 945GM Express Chipsets will support the Windows Vista Display Driver
model (WDDM) drivers.

Sorry

GMA900 doesn't do DirectX 9.0 shaders in Hardware but utilizes the CPU for
that task, Running a 3D Desktop that heavily relies on shaders would really
slow down the OS

I have a Dell XPS m140
with an Intel GMA 900
I have the same problem, I am not able to activate the aero glass
so i have no idea what the "full experience" is
oh I installed the Beta 2
now is there an option where i can install a different graphic card on my
DELL laptop?
