The omegas are all good.

The latest do work but you have to add a line in one of the .ini files, Omega forgot to add it.

I'll post it when i'm at home... Im at school right now

I have a mobility m6 in my Acer Aspire 1400 too and i tried the latest Omega drivers and they wouldn't install. Is this the same ini file problem?

K I'm back home now

k here are the instructions on how to make them work:

Go to the directory where your omega drivers are:

This is mine

C:\Program Files\Radeon Omega Drivers v2.4.78\2KXP_INF\CX_RAD_OMEGA.inf

Go to the desired file. Open it.

You'll see a heading "[ATI.Mfg]"

Under it you will see all the different ati cards listed

Scroll to the end of it and add a new line and just Copy and paste this:

"Radeon Mobility (Omega 2.4.78)"=ati2mtag_M6, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4C59

Close and save the file and then reinstall the drivers, it should work.

Just a side note, you can change the "Radeon Mobility (Omega 2.4.78)" To anything you want (except for the quotes)

There is a much better way to handle this

I used Patje's mod and it actually messed it up for some reason...

the control panel didnt install properly and i couldnt edit my openGL/direct3d settings as well

adding the line is easier and works seemingly

Strange. Did you mention the error to Patje? I'm sure he'd like to get feed back on any errors.
