Hi
I've managed to get 8 bit textures working, the onlt problem is that all other 3d checks fail.
I've managed to do this with catlyst 2.5 & 3.0
The reason this occurs I think is because My 9600 isn't supported, whereas anybody with a 7000, 8500, 9000 and 9500/9700 May have some luck
If so perhaps we could figure out away extracted the 8 bit from earlier drivers.
