Does Liberty require a graphics card with Hardware Overlay Planes?

Liberty V7.1 and earlier versions require Hardware Overlay Planes support to run. As of Liberty V8.0, Hardware Overlay Planes are no longer required. This means Liberty can run on a wider variety of graphics cards (such as the ATI Rage cards). However, you will still get better performance from a card with Hardware Overlay Planes, especially when using Layers and vector objects such as Text. For this reason, we still recommend a card with overlay planes, such as the Oxygen VX1 from 3D Labs.
