Vista - ATi Beta Drivers for the x1400

Ok I got areo Working along with flip. I am noticing two weird things. One
media center gives me a black screen (I can see it when 3D Fliping through
it) and two the screen savers do not work. interesting enough I can run
WinSAT Aurora but can not run aurora in the screen saver. I get could not
create direct3d device. Any one lease had this prolem??

So when you do the Flip3D, you hold down the Windows key + Tab and all you
get is a slightly darker faded screen?

I get that on occasion - it's definately a bug. I still get Aero Glass, I
still get transparency, I still get the visual swoooshing from the taskbar
to the screen when minimising/maximising... must be a bug )

Ok So I got all of it running. For some reason when I put in a DVD decpoder
the two started to work (MCE ande Direct3d). I have a feeling this winsat
thing is causing a bunch of pain for a bunch of people. Wish we could do
manual config around it. The Flip does show a slightly darker screen.
