ATI drivers question

Can someone please tell me the name of the D3d drvier in ATI driver files?
I know the OpenGL driver is atioglxx.dll as example but havent been able to to figure out the D3d file.

Thanks for any help 🙂
 
You can find it in the dxdiag - display tab. The main driver file in mine identifies a file with the name

ati2dvga.dll

the mini vdd is called - ati2mtag.sys

 
Is it possible that is the 2d driver, ie for the desktop apps like MS word, at least that is what I am guessing atm ati2d
I am not sure what a mini driver is thou.

I do see this file in the /2kxp inf folder in the ATI drivers directory ati3duag.dll its the largest file (not sure that matters) with 3d in the driver name at a little over 2meg.
The OpenGL file was approximatly 6meg.

I have been able to take the OpenGL file and put it directly in a game directory to allow a game to work, in the case that a game develops bugs on a new release drivers.

Problem now is a D3d game has become buggy with newer release drivers, by finding this file (or possibly mulitple files) it will allow the newest drivers to constanly be installed on a machine while simtainously allowing your favorite games to run with the best working driver when they develop bugs with new releases.

Thanks again for any tips 🙂
