As
of November 12, 2000 the RageLtMan project is
closed. FDv3 and UDv2 will be the last released
drivers. Tech support will still be provided.
The drivers: UDv2 & FDv3 - Both support DX7
and all the rage pro features barring multi-monitor.
They only run under windows 95, 98, and Me. These
WILL NOT work under win2k. 2kD1.1 - This is the
win2k driver released by popular demand, it supports
OpenGL and the full range of Rage Pro cards.
List of supported hardware: Rage Pro, Rage Pro
Turbo, Rage Lt Pro, Rage XL, Rage Mobility (M1,
P), and others based on these chips. The drivers
will NOT work on any other chip, such as the rage
128, 128 pro, or Radeon.

Recommendation/Notes |

Driver Final - FDv3 November 12 2000 -
4.74 megs |
Similar to UDv2, this driver
uses a different D3D system which seems to
work faster with DX8. It is also more compatible
with some programs than UDv2. Neither this
driver, no UDv2, require a patch to run EQ.
Both drivers also support full DVD acceleration.

Latest
Driver Version - 2
Novermber 12 2000 - 4.71 meg
|
A new, faster,
more compaitible, feature rich driver. Udv2
uses a d3d system different from that of UDv3
to achieve higher framerates under DX6/7.
However, it has been noted that under DX8,
the FPS drop is noticable. This driver also
runs EQ with no patch, and should work best
for all who are not using DX8 |

Older
Driver Version - 1.11
August 22 2000 - 4.02 meg
Note: fixed resolution problems
|
Smaller, more stable,
more compatible version of UDv1. Includes
a new core, and d3d system. As well as a new
DVD authentication layer designed to remove
incompatibilities. It's also the first "Chimera"
style driver. Performance also rises a notch. |

Driver Beta - 1.1
July 25 2000 - 4.18 megs
|
This is an untested,
Win2k driver based on Dell's release, supports
all of the Rage Pro family, is smaller, and
has a few minor optimizations. The driver
includes an OpenGL ICD for full OpenGL support.
Beta 1.1 should fix any problems encoutered
with the original. |

Driver Beta - 7.9
July 7 2000 - 4.04 megs |
Upgrade to this
if using the 7.7 or 7.5. Does not have the
multimedia features of 7.8 |
| AMD/Cyrix patches: |
These
are the long awaited alternative AGP patches
for every GD available for download. You must
download the one that corresponds to the driver
you use, unzip the contents of the file into
the directory from which you plan to install
the driver (overwriting any files), and run
setup.exe. This will install the Gart system
for your motherboard. Intel users do not need
this, AMD users should get this, but dont
have to. The drivers should run fine without
these patches. |
