x300 mobile drivers?

forcex · Aug 5, 2005, 04:46 PM

just bought a Compaq bussiness laptop: Compaq nx6125

2ghz turion processer
1gig 2700 ram
***x300 mobile
60gig HD
15.1 inch
bluetooth/wi-fi a/b/g
dvd rw 8x
win xp pro sp2

macked it out to last as long as possible, i know the drivers that came on it have to be out of date and was wondering what set of drivers to use? do i use the radeons or the mobility drivers, can i use omegas?

i ran some little app from ati and says the mobile drivers arnt compatible and only work with the x700/x800? i probably shouldn't install the motherboard/IGP drivers? i know im running an integrated x300 though. Leaves me at the radeon drivers. Someones gotta know, thanks

Interesting, the only references I got for the nx6125 at Compaq's site were for the FireGl V5000 chip, not a Mobile X300 - are you certain of the video chip? I could have missed something...

Ah, nice screenshot - I would try the Omegadrive 5.7's - checked your 5955 number in the Omegadrive inf file for the 5.7 driver I'm running now - looks like it's supported.

Follow Omegadrive's instructions carefully - and read the faq and the readme at his site before installing OK?

His site is here: www.omegadrivers.net but looks to be down right now...

ok guys, finally installed the offical drivers and now it says i have an x200 express instead of an intigrated x300??? i noticed i orignaly had the x200 chiptype but now it changes in several locations, heres a new screen shot. Is it supposed to be like this?

5955, correct its not exactly a "X300" as in a AGP or PCIe
card its called Xpress 200 since it a X300 intergrated into
the chipset. I have a RS480 based bord in my second rig.
The nice thing is you can use the regular offical drivers!!!
