ATI Radeon 4.2 drivers on ATI Radeon 9000

[Sinagoth]

wow I didn't expect this to happen. Now when i start up PJ64 it tells me it can't find the Direct HAL stuff with my card and tells me the Jabo D3d6 isnt compatible with my card. This never happened when i had the 4.1 drivers. Why should it be any different with these 4.2 drivers?

I have this problem too. The workaround is to set your desktop to 16bit, you can then use Jabos plugin with the 4.2 drivers (albeit in 16bit colour depth).

lol, Tell the truth I'm glad someone else out there has reported this problem, and confirmed that it ain't just me who has the prob

I don't have a problem with the 4.2 drivers and I'm using Jabo's Direct3D. I am using Omega drivers however.

I'm using the Omegas too Are you in 16 or 32bit desktop? Perhaps it only affects certain Radeon cards.

I'm in 32 bit color on my desktop. I guess it only affects the newer Radeon's. Pretty weird...
