thanks tony

Any change you guys could include 10.6.6 ATI drivers ('Rollback') as such? The newer drivers kill DisplayPort functionality.

As part of the ATI install it saves your current drivers to $HOME/Desktop/ATI-Backup/. This is so you can rollback on your own to whatever version you were running previously.

Hi tony,
I have a ThinkPad X201.
Originally I have the native resolution before I installed MultiBeast 3.6.0.
After I installed this with only EasyBeast and System Utilities selected.
I only got a forced 1024*768.
Anyway to change it back to 1280*800?

Besides, what should I do to change the boot partition order?

Thanks in advance

hello
Firstly thankyou tony and macman for all your hard work.
Do you think that the new nvidia drivers would be able to fix the "system uptime in seconds" error.
Cheers

Does it kill DP for all ATI cards?
If so, not good point, because what then about new installs that need the DP (eg 3monitors installations)

Anyone know how the XFX 6970 or XFX 6870 work now?
