    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.
