He claims he's fixed the AGP issues, should make an interesting test for those with AGP 1950s.

I installed them last night and started playing TF2 on my laptop. Everything was ok for the first hour, but during the second my textures started blinking. Im assuming its just because I was playing on a laptop and the Omegadrivers raised my temps, but aside from that it worked fine and was stable. performance was also better, previously I wasn't able to get 60fps unless I turned everything to low. Using the Omega I was able to play with high textures and high models (for an hour that is).

Hmm maybe I will give them a try, as ever since I used Manwithnoname's solution FRAPS no longer works so I can't really see if anything is improved at all.

Alright I tried them out because I was bored.

Now I have a problem. When using my LCD TV at 1280x720 the display doesn't fill the whole screen. This was easily fixed in CCC with the scaling option, but now I cannot get the Omega drivers to fill my screen. There is an option with a checkbox that says "Scale Image to Panel Size" when I tick the box, the screen flickers and comes back looking the same, and after I click ok and come back into the option, it's not checked anymore. DX games start up fine, so that problem is solved, but I can't live with the screen issue, it's really annoying.
