I enabled AA in the ATI driver panel. If it is enabled, the software can it disable? (for example: gl.glDisable(GL.GL_MULTISAMPLE_ARB) ) What is the relation between driver opengl settings, and software opengl settings? I mean, for example, if i set the Antialiasing to 4x in the driver panel, can I set to 2x in opengl? Thanks.

Hi,

usually, the software can overwrite all your settings, if desired by the
programmer.
The switch, you are talking about, could be used to turn it off for all
cases...

i think you'll find the rule is; if its forced to any state in the driver panel then it overrides what the app asks for.
