Dear Fellowship of the Nurb, I am trying to mod my HD2900pro to make it work as a proper openGL card. As I am totally new to softmodding drivers, I don't wanna do anything stupid to my brandnew PC. So I am double-checking my mods. Please confirm that my following mods are indeed correct! thx fellows! Rivatuner2.11 8.453.1.0000 and XP64 patch by...

What could happen to my hardware? BTW...:grin::grin: note the choice of words by microsoft: ...IMPAIR your system... thx again for your effort too, normanbates ! cheers Martin :-D
It is a lot more simple than what you suggest. You mod the INF file, (it looks OK, double-check the deviceID if you want), and you apply the patch to the driver you've extracted to c:\AMD probably somewhere. Then you go to your vidcard, and "update" the driver to the "new" one, which is given in the modded INF. Make sure windows ignores "incompatible/non-certified drivers", it might give problems otherwise. You should have an image after rebooting, and then it is up to a specview/application test to determine the mod's effectiveness. No re-cabbing required.
thx rectifier, looks like it works :-D I have a V8650 now. going to run aquamark 3 tonight. specview at a later time... thx again for the hint!
