Radeon: How to "Turn On" FSAA?

[SendTrash]

Hello,
I have a Radeon All in Wonder and using Windows 2000 with Direct X 8.
I am playing Escape from Monkey Island and the jagged edges on the characters are annoying. How do I turn on FSAA? I assume that Monkey Island uses Direct X 2d, but under my settings the area for FSAA in Direct X 3D is blanked out, I cannot select it. I can turn it on for OpenGL, but haven't tried that. How do I turn on FSAA for Direct X? I have read reviews comparing the FSAA features of the Radeon. Would this be a reg setting?
Also can someone post up registry hacks for the Radeon?

Thanks for the hacks, but which one is the one I need?
I see "AntiAlias"="0", so i just put this one to 1? Also I read that Radeon has FSAA 2x and FSAA 4X... who do I use 2X? Also, if I put "AntiAlias"="0" to one, would that enable FSAA is Direct X?

^^ BUMP
Come on Radeon owners. If I cannot get FSAA then I am going to return my Radeon for a VooDoo 5500 , so help keep a another Radeon owner.

Good question SendTrash... i was just trying to compare my Radeon's 64DDR VIVO FSAA to my Voodoo5 FSAA, and in D3D, my FSAA is greyed out!

Anybody know how to activate this sucker?

I'm rather suprised that the only way to control the FSAA is through the ... *gulp* Registry. *shiver*
That sucks... if there's no 3rd party control software, I'm going V5 for sure!
And in Escape From Monkey Island, you can choose D3D or OpenGL under configuration (before you hit play!) which is good... I played the Web Demo on this Geforce2 MX before I pack it up to send back to Onvia and this game looks TERRIBLE without FSAA! (IMO.)
With FSAA, even the low-end stuff on this MX, the "edge" is really taken off the edges.

Give me the V5 4x FSAA that NOONE can even come close to, not to mention FSAA in more than just OpenGL, but D3D and Glide too!
I'm surprised Monkey Island doesn't have resolution settings..... then again, maybe I'm not that surprised.

The Thread

were he is talking about his Radtweaker, and the link is dead also
i mailed you the Tweaker, it's small.

Actually, there is a way to do it through the menu... but mine was greyed out, and apparently it was because FSAA is not supported in Win2k. Booted up Win98 and played with the FSAA, and everything was fine.
