Mobility FireGL 9000 - Open GL tab is GONE

let me just explain that this is my first ATI card. I am using the latest
omega drivers and I no longer am able to adjust Open GL settings. There is
an extensive D3D tab but the Open GL tab is gone. The FireGL driver had no
D3D tab but it did have settings for Open GL (I understand that this card is
optimized for Open GL). Can anyone help?
I have the add-on program that comes with the Omega driver for Open GL but
that isn't the same.

TIA

there are major differences with the fire GL....I have an much older gl3000. I dont believe that GL's use direct x at all. Gls are
for producing animation and mechanical drawing...what are you trying to do with it....if its gaming you'll be disappointed...

damn sent to soon............your driver is not loaded coracle....most likely because you have been using multiple driver
versions....you have to clean everything out....if you can go back in a restore point before the first change, I would try that. Let
me also say that omega drivers will not convert that card to anything more than what it was designed for..IMO...
The card was made to do design work....not play games...I'm making an assumption, as your visiting the omega site.

On the 3D tab in the upper-left corner there is a radiobutton (choice).
Click on OpenGL. Voila, now Current Settings below shows your OpenGL
settings, and Custom... button brings panel to change them (incliding
SMARTSHADER). Think of this radiobutton as "tabs within tab". It's a
silly thing but they had to do it as they are already over the top with the
number of tabs. I'd much prefer a separate configuration utility versus
tabs in display settings.

I do not have this radiobutton
can you email me a screenshot of what you havE?

I do not think so......it has been my experience, and again this goes back to the 3000..that they do not do gaming well, although
the drivers are enhanced for GL...its more for rendering...again going back to the 3000, but as you can see in the description I
sent you, it mentions 'rendering' but not in the 'gaming' realm of the term.
