Mobility Radeon Question

First off, I'm new here and I would like to thank those who created this forum--great resource. I intend to learn a lot from you guys (and gals).

The Problem

As of late, my laptop's display resolution and overall functionality blows up whenever I try to watch certain media files. So, I went to my laptop's manufacturer support website and downloaded/installed the recommended ATI display driver.

I think the overall problem is solved, except for one small detail. There seems to be no option for setting the display at 1360X768. My laptop is connected to my LCD screen (which I love) and I would like for the resolution to be set at the aforementioned level.

Hey guys. I was able to correct the problem by poking around the forums; basically, I installed the omega drivers

Good deal! And welcome to DH!

I saw your post yesterday, but was unable to respond properly as I had to go to work - but glad to see your persistance had paid you the benefit.

If your videos aren't working right, try reinstalling the WDM driver for your version of the Omega driverset. His sets purposefully do not include them. If all is good though, of course, you don't have to bother...

My videos seem to be working fine at the moment, but on the off chance that something goes awry in the near future, where would I find his WDM (what is a WDM) drivers. I can't seem to find them on his website?
