Whenever ATi fixes their drivers.  For now, revert back to an older set of Cats.

Sure, you can use DX9, since DX is always backwards compatible. For now, no-one is using a DX9 function, so it is not needed.

As for the shinemap fix, not sure, it is a pure driver issue, the SCP guys can't help it.

Out of couriosity, what is your native language?

Radeon 9000 and Radeon 7000 reported issues as well. Not too sure about the 9200.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Did you use -spec in the launcher?  It will not shine unless specular lighting is enabled.

How about the X800 cards on the 4.7 drivers? Does anyone here have one? I'm still in two minds whether to get a 6800 GT or spend a bit more and get an X800 XTPE. At least I have some time to think about it while they all become more readily available.

There's an option in Launcher 5.x called Enable Specular. Make sure that is ticked.

As for the Catalyst drivers I've heard from others that going back to an earlier catalyst will bring back shine mapping. What I can't be sure of is which catalyst version. I think 4.3 or 4.4 is correct though.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
