Just a note about my own experience so far with reducing the hardware acceleration to 20% with the Radeon 7000 series video card. It definitely solves the problem with JFW reading the screen correctly, but I rebooted my machine last night and the Radeon control panel reported that the driver had failed to initialise. In fact the driver was working. The JFW intercept also needed to be re-established. This to me suggests that as suggested earlier in this thread some of the Radeon utilities might need to be removed from the registry for this solution to be allowed to work fully. If anyone has any detailed instructions on how to search for radeon utilities in the registry and disable them I would be interested in trying it.
