Re: [GD-Windows] Omega Drivers? (shudder)

[Neil S. <ne...@r0...>]

If the problem really is just a case of the official drivers not cleaning up
enough to make a revert to (or reinstall of) them work properly, then it
would be good to give the IHVs a chance to fix this problem. It would give
the old "install the latest drivers" line a well-needed boost. ;)

Of course, you might still want to detect the situation so you can give the
user a clue what to try before he calls support.

So here's the problem with these drivers:

We can detect whether the last installed drivers are the Omega drivers.

However, when the user "reverts" to original drivers, by installing on
top of the drivers, every measure that we've taken to detect what drivers
we're running on show "factory" drivers. However, the bad behavior (black
textures) still shows up. Something's gotten hosed somewhere in the
system (bets are: registry :-) and isn't getting un-hosed by installing
regular drivers.

Let's see if the Omega guy is talkative; I have a feeler out.

Cheers,
