Sb: new Millen. drivers hang

Has anybody had success installing the new 1.0.8 drivers on a P5 Gateway with a Millenium card (or any machine with a Millenium)? When I reconfigure vibrant to use the millenium drivers, 3DS hangs just after the 3D editor opens (with no cursor showing). Testing various resolution options in the vibcfg'er also hang the machine. I've managed to limp on by choosing VESA again for the editor and Millenium 640x480x24 for the materials editor & render screens, but the renderer will often hang. This last seems to happen when there is more than a certain amount of brightness in the scene – eg. if I render a simple sphere with black background its OK, but change to a white or near white background and it hangs with a few lines of white at the top of the screen – is this correlation possible? Thanks, John.
