Was it ever supposed to fix anything ?

Install PD 5.30.

TGL should work with that.

Seems as if VIA still sucks. :-)

Well here is what I have done to solve problems:

1. Install the 4.2 Via 4 in 1 drivers.
2. Install the new 4.02 VIA AGP drivers.
3. Install the 5.30 Matrox drivers.
4. Copy the G400ICD.DLL file from your Windows\System directory to a temp folder.
5. Uninstall 5.30 and install 5.52 drivers.
6. Copy the old ICD driver from your temp folder to your System directory.
That's it.
That is the only way to run Ultima9, Thief2 and Q3Arena while having AGP support within DirectX without crashes. However Turbo OpenGL will still not work.
Remember to force AGPx2 for better performance.

Hope this helps.
