ATI FireGL Mobility 9000 - no drivers for Vista?

I Hi, I am having a little trouble trying to find this information. Will the older ATI FireGL Mobility 9000 card in my IBM T40p laptop work with vista? I can't find any drivers that show compatibility.

Is there any way to hack a driver so it gives basic support?

Thanks,
Leo

You'll get basic functionality out of the box, but the OS will complain "incompatible video hardware or driver" due to lack of required DX9 acceleration in the driver. It is a DX9 part, though, so hopefully ATi will have a drivewr for you by Vista release time.

Ahh... thanks for the update. The "basic functionity" is pretty horrid though... moving a window (screen refreshing) is painfully slow.
