Why this good thing only applies to Radeon Omega Drivers 2.4.43 ?

i try very hard to explain this thing(very hard to explain) , hope someone can understand and help me....

when i playing warcraft3 and ALT+Tab, with driver 2.4.43 it will pop out to desktop immediately without any flash (very smooth, the monitor won't turn black at all) but with newer omega drivers such as 2.4.60, 2.4.74 etc this don't work anymore, when i ALT+Tab in game, the monitor will flash black for like 2 seconds then only pop out to desktop...(other official ATI catalyst drivers also like this, which is normal)

this makes me stick to me good old 2.4.43 drivers...but why after this all the newer drivers dun work like this anymore? i personally love omega drivers becoz of this thing...but now i cannot upgrade to the newest 2.4.74 which has a lot of bug fixes...can anyone help? is it omegadrive (the creator of omega drivers) forgot to tweak this minor thing for the newer drivers?

THANX A LOT FOR THOSE WHO FINISH READING MY MESSAGE!

If you do not need the secondary V. output, disable it and try again.

It seems that either Resolution, Refresh rate or bitdepth is changing when switching from WC3 to desktop. Can you check which one?

wat is bitdepth and how to check?

iori57 · Aug 12, 2003, 04:00 AM

oh bitdepth is the 32 in the 1024x768x32 right? if so then my resolution and bitdepth is the same...i trying to find out what refresh rate the game war3 is using...anyone know how?
