OK. I have tried under a new user - same effect.

ATI does not support the card any more, and I want to use free driver
too - so...
This very problem is only in this games. I have tried now torcs - but
it refuses to play any farther after last click right before starting
playing.
Other 3Dd apps I've tried was Marble - runs perfectly - but I believe
it uses far another technology besides 3D-support itself.

So, I suppose I have to file BR against radeon driver, right?

Actually, for the ATI's I gave according to my memory - if it is not
so, then 1,500 - is maximum - yes, 2x faster than the open one. :)
