Those complaining about a laggy interface on their HTC Touch Pro / Fuze will be delighted to know that there is a fix that will make it feel much snappier (especially TF3D). Apparently by default the device is set not to use hardware acceleration through the built in ATI Imageon processor. Instead it uses the normal CPU for these types of processes. Enabling the ATI hardware is as easy as modifying a registry entry to point to the ATI driver and rebooting, or you can install the cab over at xda-developers.com.

According to the thread, this cab makes the following registry modification:

HKLM/System/D3DM/Drivers/LocalHook
Replace the original value 'D3DMXSx50PB.dll" to "d3dm_ati.dll"

The best way to test if the driver is working is to use the Diamond VR Hologram App on the first page of the thread. A successful install will yield 20 – 25 FPS in the app.

UPDATE 1/7/09: For those looking for the CAB install file, I have uploaded it here:

diamond-ati-d3d-driver.cab

(save to your phone and open with File Explorer to install.)
