And if you have an ATI video board, Radeon 9600 anyway, and installed the
Vista drivers from ATI site you will not have AeroGlass. I had to roll back
my displays drivers to get the "WDDM" statement as you described. Drivers
are yet a problem for Vista.

I have an ATI 9800 Pro. I don't have WDDM beside my card but Aero works
flawlessly
Using the ATI drivers BTW

Hi Andre - I am using the NVidia 88.61 drivers and am getting Glass (as far
as I can tell) but there is no WDDM listed next to the name of the display
adapter.

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 series card, with the ATI Radeon Vista drivers
from ATI and I have Aero glass. And in device manager they do not say WDDM
next to them even though they are definitely WDDM.

from what I have digested there is a difference between aero, and aero glass
is there not? I have nice effects but radeon 9600xt(with vista b2 drivers)
not showing as wddm, and I can't get the window flipping thing to enable.
should I install latest 6.5 cat drivers and then mabe I will have full blown
aero glass?

I rolled back my driver to the one that vista installed for me and I now have
the wddm but still no glass. I have no idea why. I had a beta 1 version a
while back and glass worked on that version there is no reason why it
shouldn't work on here.

I have the latest driver from NVIDIA and there is no WDDM beside my card, but
I still have all the features of vista (i.e.: 3d flip and aero). I have
tested both drivers, the one that was supplied with vista and directly from
NVIDIA, and the drivers from NVIDIA are much smoother in there operation. I
would defiantly go with the beta one from NVIDIA. Mike...
