tarigand · Feb 4, 2007, 03:11 AM

Hey everyone,
new to these forums...
I installed the Omega Drivers and I seem to have ran into an issue where when i close my lid, the power of the LCD still stays on?...how do i go about fixing this?...the laptop i have is:

Dell Inspiron 6000 w/ the centrino processor and i am running Omega Drivers v. 3.8.291
The gfx card is the ATI Radeon Mobility x300 (128 mb ram)

Thanks,
Tarigand

I had the same problem w/my i8100. The solution was to compare Dell's inf and the new driver's inf, and then add the changes to new inf.

cool..but one quick question...which inf's am i looking at...where are they located?

[color="#cc00ff"]Aloha TariGand,

The location of the INF for the ATi Catalyst 7.1 Driver... should be at "[/color]C:\ATI\support\7-1_xp_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_40211\Driver\2KXP_INF [color="#cc00ff"]", after the "Setup program" extraction...

If I remember right, the Omega INF should be located in the Program Folder... "[/color]C:\Program Files\Radeon Omega Drivers\"[color="#cc00ff"]version #[/color]" [color="#cc00ff"]

There was another Dell I-6000 user that has posted about this problem, previously...
Awhile back, I posted at the end of "his DellTalk thread"... about modifying the INF, also.

He also had a post, in this forum, about this problem ("click here") and received some replies.

I don't know if he ever resolved this problem...

Aloha,
Rod [/color]

Here's the file I keep around for new drivers. You basically just add it to the end of the section for the M7 (which is mobility 7500 card):

But I should point -- that's for the 7500 only. For your X300, you should download whatever driver Dell has and then put it's SoftwareDevice_Settings into the inf file for the driver you want to install.
