On the road....
Does anyone know of a Driver I can use for this chipset? - I’ve recently bought an HP Compaq 6910p laptop from the MM and whilst it originally came with Vista it’s now got 10 64bit installed.

After hours of Googling it appears this chipset isn’t supported for Windows 10 and it looks like my only option is to install XP or Vista on the laptop, this isn’t a huge deal as I only use it for watching films in my truck,I’d like the correct driver because the default Win 10 driver only supports 1024x768 and the playback is a little jittery...

I’m hoping someone can point me to a tweaked / modded driver that’ll work with 10 so I don’t have to reinstall...

Thanks in advance. :)
 
Have you tried installing the Vista driver?

Windows Vista/7/8/10 are all derived from the NT 6 base design (hence why until 10 they all had 6.x version numbers), and so drivers are almost always intercompatible barring the obvious 32bit/64bit clash.

Yes mate, tried numerous ones (x86 and x64) Windows Vista and 7, I’m either greeted with an error saying it’s not supported or the driver seems to install fine but upon rebooting I still have just the Microsoft basic display adapter installed. :/

I just remembered that the X2300 was part of the X1xxx lineup not the HD 2xxx lineup, I'd forgotten about that as being older than I thought explains the lack of support.

There is actually one shred of luck left though (apart from using XP/Vista), you're GPU is still supported by Ubuntu 16.x, which is a very user friendly Linux variant, so if all you want to do is watch movies in your truck then installing Ubuntu 16.x (or booting it off a live CD/USB stick) should allow you to play DVDs and video files in VLC or another media player. Worth a shot if you're not averse to Linux as it will be less of a system hog than Vista.
