Re: Catalyst Software Suite 11.10 WHQL

I guess when you release a driver on the 31rst of October you can still use the .10 moniker.

I expect 11.11 in 30min my time....

Re: Catalyst Software Suite 11.10 WHQL

Does anyone have any info about any differences between these and the 11.10 preview drivers released earlier?

The only real difference, from what I can tell, is that these are WHQL and supported. Preview drivers are "Use at your own risk."

However, there is one thing that I found out after using the 11.10s:

Bezel Compensation - for Eyefinity -- is no longer restricted to screens within a certain range of error. Bezel Compensation can now be used without restrictions at all. There is a Warning that comes up, but, once you click on the OK, you can proceed as you wish.

I had to ask about this since all three of my monitors are identical screens and I was getting that warning.

Re: Catalyst Software Suite 11.10 WHQL

Why do you think that it's not working? Not having to restart after driver installation is normal on Vista and Windows 7.

Re: Catalyst Software Suite 11.10 WHQL

Well, that happens too. Win 7 and Vista usually (or sometimes) don't ask to restart if it's just a driver update and not a whole new piece of hardware, but sometimes it does. Both are normal.

Can you start Catalyst Control Center (or AMD Vision Engine Control Center, whichever name appears)? If you can, go to Information / Software and check Catalyst Version.

Re: Catalyst Software Suite 11.10 WHQL

Try getting the driver from here and download the Catalyst Software Suite.

I think that 11-10_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_ccc which you tried is just the Catalyst Control Center without the driver and that's why it didn't work (for the same reason, don't download Catalyst Control Center from Individual Downloads section. I think it's the same file).

If Catalyst Software Suite doesn't work, I'm asking other members to join in as I don't have first hand experience with mobility cards.
