These are final drivers for Win2000, but it seems like the OpenGL ICD isn't multimon-compatible anymore. If secondary monitors are enabled, running Quake3 causes a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED kernel error, and X29, a windowed OpenGL application, simply hangs. If I disable secondary monitors, Quake3 and X29 run fine, but after re-enabling secondary monitors, Direct3D acceleration for the primary monitor is disabled. I have to reboot to get it enabled again.
What are your experiences with those drivers?
BTW, otherwise they seem to work fine: DirectX, video and hibernation seem okay so far.

I had a problem (and still have) with some versions before 5.22. When ever I start a opengl game i get an error message, that my desktop color depth has to be at least 65k. When I turn off my secondary the game runs fine. I can reproduce this error with different secondary display adapters (ATI@play, Matrox Millenium I, Matrox Millenium G200).
Any idea on that ?

Looks like yet another driver bug...

And not only direct3d support is disabled for the primary adapter after enabeling the secondary again, but also agp support is disabled.

Which drivers would you reccomend then? that give full functionality

Depends on your needs. I'm sticking with 5.22 for the moment because video overlay is more important to me than OpenGL. If you want OpenGL without having to disable secondary monitors, give the 3.81 drivers a try, they worked fine for me (except I had to disable DirectX acceleration...).
