I'm having display/graphics problems with my ATI Radeon video card. How can I fix them?

Joint Operations Files - Joint Operations FAQ
At the time of writing, there are a number of known issues with the Radeon 8500, 9000, and 9200 cards. Most can be fixed by installing the latest Catalyst drivers from the ATI website, version 4.5 or newer. Some of these issues are scheduled to be fixed with the Catalyst 4.7 drivers, which will be released shortly after the Joint Operations initial retail release date. If this doesn't help, setting shadows to "Off" in the Options menu might also fix these issues.

How do I capture screen shots from a video using Windows Media Player?

Windows XP FAQ Frequently Asked Questions - Bootstrike.Com
While the video is playing, press Ctrl+I (that's I for Ivory). Save as BMP to preserve the most quality. Another way is to reduce the Video Acceleration to None and using the good ol' Print Screen button. However, restore back the Video Acceleration once you're done as it could affect video performance.

I have an ATI video card and the game stutters a lot?

Polovski's WW1 flight sims
This tweak may only work for those that are running ATI cards, but I've thoroughly tested it and I'm confident that it'll be useful for at least some people. I had set up the CFS3 config overrides that I've seen suggested in both the OFF installation guide as well as some other tweak guides for CFS in general. Although I was getting decent fps at reasonably high detail settings, I also found that occasionally whilst flying over terrain, that my screen would freeze for just a split second or so.

What motherboards have been tested by ATI with the All-in-Wonder® Radeon™ 8500DV?

All-in-Wonder ® Radeon™ 8500DV
There is an internal 4-pin power connector on the All-in-Wonder® Radeon™ 8500DV. This is an optional connection and is not required to be connected for the IEEE 1394/FireWire® DV functionality to work. There are very few devices that draw power from the IEEE 1394/FireWire® connector; camcorders do not require this connection. However, some examples of devices that do require this power connection are new 'eyeball' cameras that sit on top of the monitor or some very small hard drives.

As a fix, simply install the trial version of CyberLink PowerDVD decoder and select it from the "decoder" list in the WebGuide configuration tool (in your Start menu). Most users have reported that this fixes their streaming problem, and supposedly the decoder keeps working after the trial period is over.

Q.F23- How do I get XFree86 to work with my new ATI card?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about XFree86
First, you need to get the XFree86 3.3.5 Mach64 server if you don't already have it. It should automatically detect the ATI chips available up to the time of its release (July 1999), except for all Rage128 cards (like the Fury). See below for Rage128 support. One exception from this is the Rage Pro LT chipset, as the server doesn't support the LCD with that chipset. A fix for this problem is known and will be included in XFree86-3.3.5.
