I think, originaly I installed the driver by enabling it in the
Hardware Drivers dialog. Which, as I said, worked at the beginning.
After the problem came up, I had installed Envy NG. The driver works,
but I have the impression, that it works software only, and does not
use the 3D capabilities of the graphics card. Applications like Google
Earth is extremely slow.
I do not see any difference with this driver and the vesa driver. With
the advantage that with the vesa driver, suspend works.
With the restricted driver, I expect much faster display.
Greetings,
Michael
