ATI2600, OpenGL, and Blender

Post by froo »

Anyone have an ATI2600 video card? I am having trouble with Blender and OpenGL.
I tried running an app called OGLBench.exe and that also crashes.

Any tips?

thanks!

Just the obvious check the drivers. Ati anyway isn't that famous for it's driver. And if it still is not working try an older driveri one that do not have support for OpenGL 3.0

Thanks ChMar.

I have tried that; no luck. I am just reinstalling the ATI 1600.
I will do more digging later.

thanks. Well, I tried a few things; I found I could change the ATI Junko driver name from atioglxx.dll in the blender folder
to anything else, and blender loads just fine. Heh. Mmboy. ATI.

In other words, i am probably running blender in opengl emulator mode; but I really dont' care. I just need it to run.
