Can someone please give me a link to download Open GL 1.2.2, I've tried searching XLR8 and MacGamer's forums but with no luck (bit of a bummer really because this is where I originaly downloaded it) only OpenGL 1.2.2 works with the Beta ATI drivers I have installed (from warbirds 3)
P.S OpenGL 1.2.2 (along with the Beta ATI drivers which I still have a copy of) made gaming bearable on the 350 iMac (just waiting to get a new Mac for the beggining of My last year at Uni, which starts just after Apple expo handily enough!) I'm using at the mo, so please, any of you "QS" fiends with OS 9.2 installed, feel sorry for me and email them or someone please post a url, I need some descent framerates again!!!

I'm pretty sure open GL 1.2.2 only comes with new computers. I can't find it online, and my dual USB ibook came with them. Sorry.

Umm just after giving up searching, I started posting in all the Mac Forums I know on the web, & I urr, then found the URL's at Macgamers forums Os 9.2 ATI Drivers & OpenGL for the latest Beta ATI drivers just check out Latest Beta ATI drivers at Macgamefiles.

Do you know if these drivers would work on a dual USB ibook with the mobility?

Yes they should, they've worked fine on my Indigio 350 iMac and my Graphite SE 466Mhz iBook which has the same graphic's card as your iBook.
Just make a backup of your current ATI & OpenGL drivers (i.e Duplicate them, do NOT simply move them from the extensions folder to a new folder, you must leave your original drivers where they are, in your extensions folder) and then drop these new ATI/OpenGL extensions on your system folder, or place then in the extensions folder in your system folder, you will be asked if you would like to replace your current extensions/drivers with the ones your installing, click yes.
I repeat do not DELETE your current ATI/OpenGL extensions and THEN install these new ones, you must drop your new extensions/drivers on the system or extensions folder and let the Mac OS replace/update them for you, or you might run into loads of probs (as I did).
Also I "think" these drivers only update 3D performance, so you would not want to delete your 2D extensions.
Good luck, they should work fine.
