I saw the first few positive reports yesterday in the http://www.rage3d.com forums.

Search their forums to find out all the details. It´s pretty creepy stuff.

The short version:
Get the latest drivers (I´m not sure if official, beta or hacked), have some device consume another output signal to get access to the multimonitor features, do some more stuff I forgot and Gothic und a few other games should run under Win98.

The guys experimented with tvs, camcorders and dongles as secondary devices.

@WraithX:
Could you please give us a detailed explanation how you fixed the problem?


@Chris:
Ich kann es Dir leider nicht genau sagen,da ich selbst keine Radeon besitze (habe ich auch nie behauptet). Deshalb auch der Hinweis auf die Rage3D Foren und die reichlich komische Problemlösung sowie meine mit Absicht schwammige Kurzfassung.

Steck mal einen Fernseher oder einen 2.Monitor in die Radeon um Zugriff auf die Multmonitoroptionen zu bekommen. Vielleicht reicht ja das allein schon aus.
Die Bastellösung mit dem Dongle sieht nicht ganz so vertrauenerweckend aus.

You'll get an official patch for the Radeon problems from PB and RPGDot very soon...
