radeon x1600 pro aero

Radeon x1600 pro and Aero?

Has anyone got Aero to work with the radeon x series? I've read almost everything here and the general consenses is that Vista will run with either the basic VGA drivers or the 6.5 catalyst ones, but if windows update is used or if you use the ATI Vista 2 Beta driver (which are fro the wrong build), the system crashes.
has anyone found a work around? Has anyone had a suggestion from Microsoft? It seems really strange the developers would have overlooked the x series of Radeon cards.
P4-3.2, 1gig ram, MSI 865pe, radeon x1600 (512)
