: Unfortunately, ATI's OpenGL support has never been that good. I have owned

: any support from ATI, given the Rage 2's vintage...
Yes, I was using Scitech's GLDirect, but wouldn't the -s switch not use it? So, then, the crash when maximizing would be because of TRueView and not because of the OpenGL driver.
