ATI Mobility X1xxx series driver Vista/Windows 7 Proper

Siauka · Nov 13, 2009, 08:11 PM

I made it to work at last on my X1600

here what I have done, this short tutorial for Vista/Windows 7 or Windows XP:

1. Make sure you have cleaned all ATI drivers, you can do this with (Drive Sweaper or Driver Cleaner.NET)
2. Download and install Mobility Modder v1.2.0.0 here
3. Download ATI Legacy Radeon X1xxx series driver for Vista/Windows 7 here or for Windows XP here, latest version 9.8
4. Modd, install and have fun this up to date drivers

I hope it will be usefull for someone...

P. S. You can only install 9.8 driver in device manager and then mod 9.9 Mobility drivers to install only Catalyst Control Center, didn't try with 9.10 desktop driver but it should work to.

Now that legacy ver 9.11 is released, I assume we can use that as well?

And also to anyone out there, is it better to use the 9.11 legacy drivers (even though they don't officially support win7)
Or use the normal ver 9.3 which did support windows 7?

Thank you very much!

This worked on Win 7 (for X1700) with:

DriverSweeper_2.0.5-[Guru3D.com].exe
9-11_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc.exe
MMDotNETSetup1210.zip

from the links you gave in the first post!

A huge thanks for the tip. I had the "hard to read menu text" on MW2 and this fixed it! Just run the Modder before the ATI driver install step (after the Extract) and you'll be fine. This solved many hours of other attempts that didnt work.
