Problems with Omega drivers on a Laptop

Diss · 26 Mar 2006 at 12:41

Hi

My Laptop has a Radeon x700 mobility in it. However it uses 3rd party drivers (Evesham) and Catalyst drivers won't load.

Anyway, i heard that these Omega drivers should work with anything. However i tried this and they completely messed up the display - totally corrupt. (Since reset with system restore thank god).

During the install there was a question something like "Do you have IGP or a Laptop" - to which i replied YES. However thinking about it is this a badly worded question that assumes all Laptops have IGP?

Your thoughts on this much appreciated.

Thanks

Almost all laptops do have IGP.

Hi

I always used DH Mod tool V3 to install the latest Cats on my Lappy with an X700

Hope this helps some:

hmmm

so the question could have been misleading - if i had answered NO then maybe it would have worked

thanks

thanks Dutch 777 - that seems to have worked

though how do i tell what driver version is installed - it says 8.231.0.0 - but is this Catalyst 6.3?

cheers
