Well how do you see it Steve? I installed the 77.76 set. and there is nothing in the cp for either DirectX or OpenGL at all. The TaskApplet has the usual choices, including for custom OGL and DX settings but these are empty. After installing this set, I noted a near empty looking CP, so I merged the coolbits2 tweak. Got more options in the cp but still nothing for OGL or DX and no 'games manager'. McG.
