Vista - Problem with Radeon on VIA PT880 Ultra

Aero/Glass capable Radeon cards (R 9800 Pro 128MB AGP; R X1300 128MB
PCIe) do not run on my Asus P4V800D-X mainboard with VIA PT880 Ultra
chipset: The machine in very close to freezing - but speeds up
immediately after deinstalling the Radeon...
I have tried both the driver from within Vista Beta 2 and the driver
provided by ATI especially for Vista Beta 2.

Vista does not accept the VIA chipset driver (Hyperion; 4in1) labeled
as for WinXP.
I can't find any useful hint on viaarena.

Other video cards (GeForce4 MX440; Matrox G400) run fine - though
without Aero/Glass, of course.

Does any user have an idea what to do - or similar eXPerience?

I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT, and had a very similar problem with the Vista
Beta2 drivers from ATI. I did a fresh Vista install, and used the driver
from Windows Update, and now my card is listed(partially) in Device Manager,
and have Aero Glass. Try the Microsoft driver from Windows Update.

I am also having a problem with the x1300 on a VIA chipset, without the video
drivers installed my system flys, (3800 dual core 1 gig ram) but when I
install microsoft, or ati's driver package it slows down to a point where it
takes about 5 minutes for the welcome center to open... and I did notice that
it is having trouble pulling chipset and ram information from the card... and
it also cannot access the 3D or accelleration settings..
