As an owner of the G965 express chipset, I find it very concerning that Intel has not utilized many of the features that they had intended to provide us. More specifically, I am talking about the GMAx3000's so-called "TnL Support." How many of you read that in the white spec sheet and then wondered why all of your programs have denied you usage, saying "no TnL or Vertex Shader support detected" or something along those lines. This thread is to take a stand. Not a stand just to bash Intel for disappointing us time and time again, but rather to take a stand and go on the offensive. To succeed where Intel has failed. I believe that the Intel community is stronger united than Intel itself, and that if we stick our ideas together, we can accomplish great feats that Intel could possibly learn from.
So to sum up what I the purpose of this thread is, is to aid in graphical problems, especially with those owners who have chipsets that don't support hardware or software TnL or Vertex Shading. This is in essence an unOfficial Troubleshooter.
If you are having problems with conflicts in programs and incompatible software because of your Intel Chipset:
1) Try downloading the latest drivers from
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelg965/
2) If this does not solve your problem, try the latest beta drivers. They are under the beta driver page of the download section. As of right now, they are only compatible with XP, but new Vista drivers should come out in the soming weeks.
3) This is a backup plan, that should not be your main course of action but rather a temporary aid. Use this 3DFX emulator (which is completely legal btw) to create artificial TnL and Vertex Shading, and can evenemulate DirectX 9.0c.
