Pour les non anglophones : Pas d'accélération direct3D sur certaines cartes mères basées sur VIA.
Pour la première série de cartes graphiques ils conseillent d'installer les pilotes catalyst 6.10
Pour la deuxième série (y compris 9600) ils conseillent d'installer les pilotes catalyst 6.4 comme solution d'attente.
Ils assurent qu'ils y bossent...Et qu'ils vont nous prévenir quand ça sera prêt. Je suppose qu'en vrai il faut traduire par "on a autre
chose à faire que plancher sur cette vieille carte, achètes-en une nouvelle espèce de pauvre" ?
A bientôt j'espère... Je vais installer tout ça et on verra bien...
