radeon via pt880 ultra

Problem with Radeon on VIA PT880 Ultra

Aero/Glass capable Radeon cards (R 9800 Pro 128MB AGP; R X1300 128MB PCIe) do not run on my Asus P4V800D-X mainboard with VIA PT880 Ultra chipset: The machine in very close to freezing - but speeds up immediately after deinstalling the Radeon... I have tried both the driver from within Vista Beta 2 and the driver provided by ATI especially for Vista Beta 2.
Vista does not accept the VIA chipset driver (Hyperion; 4in1) labeled as for WinXP. I can't find any useful hint on viaarena.
Other video cards (GeForce4 MX440; Matrox G400) run fine - though without Aero/Glass, of course.
Does any user have an idea what to do - or similar eXPerience?

I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT, and had a very similar problem with the Vista Beta2 drivers from ATI. I did a fresh Vista install, and used the driver from Windows Update, and now my card is listed(partially) in Device Manager, and have Aero Glass. Try the Microsoft driver from Windows Update.

I am also having a problem with the x1300 on a VIA chipset, without the video drivers installed my system flys, (3800 dual core 1 gig ram) but when I install microsoft, or ati's driver package it slows down to a point where it takes about 5 minutes for the welcome center to open... and I did notice that it is having trouble pulling chipset and ram information from the card... and it also cannot access the 3D or accelleration settings..
