Mobility Radeon 4870X2 - Asus W90 : the end of the tunnel

After a few months of angry open letters to AMD and Asus, the drivers problem of the M4870X2 of the Asus W90 is history.

Everything started here :
*Official ASUS W90Vp Owners' Lounge* - Page 999
when a german nice guy (probably working for Asus) provided us all the tools necessary to have decent drivers and CCC.

Here's the method.

1)Uninstall your driver and your ccc. Reboot to safe mode and clean everything's left with driver sweeper. Reboot again.

2)Flash your motherboard bios with this one :

Use Winflash if you have problem to access the rom from EZ Flash

3)In Windows, launch this application and reboot:

It will flash your graphic card bios. It only works on Vista. If you have 7, please use Vicious' guide :

4)You can now install reel drivers.
Use 9.11 modded with DHMod on Vista and 7

5)Enjoy !

Asus should really be utterly embarrassed about their total lack of support for this machine. I mentioned it to them last month.

You're welcome !
A simple update to tell that 9.11 are out and that they work on 7 and Vista with this guide.
