I don't know if you can do RealView with a Radeon card. But to address the software OGL setting, you can't change it if you have a document open. Or if SW determines that your graphics system can't handle the load, then you will see it checked and greyed out.

I've notice that after you apply a material and click the real graphics box, the icon will then appear.

Brian,
Radeons don't support Realview. The cards that support it are the FireGL(ATI), and Quadro series (Nvidia). On those cards it only works with full hardware acceleration. I think software OpenGL disables it.
3D Labs had a the Realizm series cards that also supported it, but they've been discontinued.Mark
