Err... newer drivers generally improve upon old ones. Omega are more recent, but if supportable you should try getting the catalyst ones from www.ati.com

Catalyst Converter Effects: Because everyone loves to play galciv2 with the green ascII code instead of "graphics"

thanks for the kind replies ... i'll try today

EDIT: ok. the problem is: with the catalyst from 6 and after my mobility radeon doesn't work. It's all a mess with ascii characters everywhere.

I'll try some other versions....
