ATI Rage Fury and Windows 2000: OpenGL? How?

[Oscarfish]

Hi all,

I have an ATI Rage Fury AGP card (Rage 128 Chipset) and I'm trying to get 3D games to work under Windows 2000, build 2195. The drivers included with W2K label the card a "Rage 128 GL AGP" and include DirectX 7 support (with Direct3D) but they do not include an OpenGL ICD. ATI's site says the only drivers available for my card are those included with W2K, and there is no plan for an open beta. I've treid installing the drivers for Win98 and Win NT 4.0 on Win 2000 but the executable detects at once that I'm not running the supported operating system.

I really want to get OpenGL under W2K - I just got DVDs working and it's a half-decent operating system - but there is no driver support. Can anyone please give me a URL of beta drivers somewhere (or a place where an OpenGL ICD is available)?

Considering how close the release date is for the final build of w2k, they prob wont even make drivers for it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

But I will search around since im a fellow ATI user http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I don't know if this helps, probably not. But www.rageunderground.com (http://www.rageunderground.com) has different open gl and d3d modules. I am not sure what OS's they are for though. But there is a discussion forum there so if you posted there I am pretty sure somebody has ran into the same problem.

Just wanted to tell u that u cant use opengl on win2k build or beta (its just not supported yet, simple as that) But the final release will have opengl support....so man..u are screwed for right now

Not exactly true john. I use Detonator drivers hacked in W2K and it works fine, but thats not ATI Rage OpenGL.

CHeck here too...NT Compatible (http://ntgamepalace.3dfiles.com/ab.htm)
