ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 - driver mod help please

Onijaya · Jul 22, 2009, 03:41 PM

Hi all...

I've bought a new notebook, with the ATI 4650, and I'm having serious HDMI problems with it, and I need to get updated drivers so I can really understand if it's hardware problems or driver issues.
The driver that came with the notebook is ATI Catalyst 8.12 (pretty old, for 4xxx series).

I have 13 days to send the notebook back, so I have 13 days to test and see if it's hardware or driver issues that are messing with me!

btw, I'm running Vista 32 Premium

Since I've been using modtool for over 2 years now, I came right away to mod the new Catalyst drivers... And we all know that Modtool doesn't yet support the 4xxx series.

So, I've been trying to mod them manually, but so far, I just can't get it to work!!!

I've been reading most of all post and threads in here, and nothing works!

I've updated 9.6 inf files (both, CW and CL under [ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.0]/
[ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.1]) with the line:

"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 " = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9480&SUBSYS_015E1025

since my Hardware ID specifies this:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9480&SUBSYS_015E1025

After the change, I try to update the driver, thru windows, go to the "Have Disk" etc... and the driver starts to install, even asks me if I really want to install the driver, since it's not signed, I say yes, and then it says that it can't install the driver, cause the driver doesn't support windows vista...

Am I missing something here? Is there another code line that I have to use on the inf files???
I'm out of solutions, and a bit desperate...

help please!!
