ATI Radeon 9200 (Mac) 128MB issues with Myth 2?

[vinylrake]

Anyone know anything about compatibility between ATI Radeon 9200 Mac card and Myth II?

After some fooling around I finally got Myth to once again realize it knew how to do OpenGL, and I can start up Myth fine and my screen options look fine, but when I am in game there's some weird disconnect between mouse and screen. If I am really careful I can click on a unit, but if I try to click on the ground to indicate where a unit should move to, 80-90% of the time no yellow circle appears on the ground, instead I get a lightning quick flash of yellow as if the Y row of pixels corresponding to the Y of my clicked x,y coordinate flashed yellow for a split second.

Also when I click on a unit it almost always acts as if I clicked and dragged to reorient the unit as it turns and faces towards camera and off to the left - even if the unit started out facing the opposite direction. Double clicking doesn't work either.

I can't see anything in the radeon control panel that would effect that - it's mostly just setting to improve 3D stuff - though I've tried tweaking about everything (and am back to install defaults).

Any help greatly appreciated.

What does your Myth log say? Probably nothing useful, but you never know.

Are you using multiple monitors? Myth currently has various issues with multiple monitors (on the Mac, at least - I have no idea about Windows).

Nothing in the Myth log other than the usual "Scanning for devices.... One OpenGL device found...".

Myrd, I _am_ using multiple monitors, but I have been for some time (more than a year now) and have been playing Myth with no problems.

I ended up taking the card out and now - despite having an old Voodoo3 card and another card that USED to run Myth fine (with OpenGL) - NOW when I start up Myth I only have the Software version - there are two software options - I assume one for each graphics card? But NO OpenGL option.

So, that makes me thing the 9200 gfx card install must have done some bad mojo on the OpenGL driver for OS X - replacing one that worked with Myth with one that does not, and the new version must be different enough that it is somehow incompatible with my older video cards - at least Myth is no longer able to see the OpenGL driver in the system.

Does that sound plausible? I am hunting around now to see if I can find the OpenlGL components/drivers from before the 9200 install so I can try replacing them without resorting to a reinstall of the OS.

With the 9200, try selecting a different main monitor (the one with the menu bar) in the system preferences and see if that helps...

omg I completly forgot you could drag the menubar seperately from the windows themselves in the displays-arrangement window.

I bet that explains why even with shuffling 3 graphics cards around in the slots I couldn't get the menubar associated with the right card....

now to go reinstall the card and try it all again....
