Welcome to DH.

Only the Radeon 9500 and up is supported. Revert back to Catalyst 6.5 I think was the last supported release.

RodMunch · Oct 26, 2007, 10:05 PM

I have a VisionTek Radeon HD2600PRO 512 AGP and it is not supported.
My Device Instance ID is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9587&SUBSYS_00281545

I will be happy to edit some text files if I know which ones!
Thank you

RodMunch · Oct 26, 2007, 11:59 PM

Just a quick note. I edited my inf file after the fact and manually installed the driver from control panel.
The driver installed but I got the following Error when clicking on the ATI Tray Tools icon: "Unable to retrive information from BIOS! Please report to developer about your board!

Going to the ATI 3D control panel and selecting details shows that the BIOS Version, Part Number, and Date are Not Available. Also the Memory Type is Not Available too. Therefore, I may of installed the drivers but they are 100% NOT complete.

I am trying really hard to get my age of empires III to work without the graphics corruption. I am trying the Omega drivers to cover all bases. Trouble tickets with ATI did nothing and the forums at VisionTek revealed nothing. The age of empires III forum did not reveal any answers other than install the latest drivers. I could not find anyone else with this similar problem: Play AOEIII with AGP HD2600 Pro card.

my device iD is on the list but the drivers still do not work with my sapphire 2600xt

mine is pci-e and it dont work, i really wanted to try these drivers with the crysis demo i just dloaded.

Ivy Mike · Oct 27, 2007, 08:36 AM

Hmm drivers aren't installing for me even with the new updated version. I have a Sapphire Radeon x1950xt 256 pcie. Basically the installation process goes through and then when I say yes to drivers are ready to install now, then it warns me about the overwriting old files warning that might pop up but after that it just goes straight to asking me if I want the control panel shortcutted on the desktop (then restart is prompted). But upon windows restart, drivers have clearly not been installed.

No error messages or anything. Not sure if this is a situation where you need
the card ID. If so, here it is:

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7244&SUBSYS_0B121002

Really appreciate the work you've done Omega - I know you're probably swamped with requests and questions and right now but just wanted to say thanks for the drivers.

Yeah, I have the same problem (I have the exact same card, Sapphire X1950XT 256mb, same card ID), everything goes through fine but once its done and restarted, it's still not installed.

Omegadrive · Oct 27, 2007, 12:38 PM

Hmm, strange about the installation issues, I didn't touched that part when I was adding the new scripts for AGP, Have you guys tried to install from the start menu options once the installation ends?

As for the 2600 AGP cards, it seems they where not supported on Cat 7.7 and the D3D driver that I used is not working with it, try installing again but select PCIe as the option instead of AGP and see if it works (since it uses the newest D3D ICD).

saskuatch · Oct 27, 2007, 07:39 PM

I tried installing from the omega menu after the initial installation for my 2600xt pci-e and it says the card is not supported even tho my device ID is part of the list "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9588"

After trying the start menu install, I get an INF error Video Driver not found message. I managed to get something installed when I went through the Windows wizard and then pointed it to the folder where the drivers are, but this didn't feel very stable (Team Fortress 2 crashed when I was playing for about a minute which wasn't happening with vanilla 7.10s).

Shadow Lady · Oct 28, 2007, 01:12 AM

seems vmr9 output level reversed to TV(16-235), it was ok in version 3.8.360 of the drivers giving me a nice (0-255), any idea what can I do to keep it as it was?

9500pro

mlaw3k · Oct 28, 2007, 05:32 AM

choosing pci-e over agp didn't work either =(

Omegadrive · Oct 28, 2007, 07:55 AM

The ONLY card I know is not working for sure is the 2600 with ID "9586", since I never got that ID before, but is already added for next build.

As for the 1950 cards, Where my previous drivers installing fine? Cause my card is a 1900XT PCIe and I have yet to find any issues, that's why I find it strange that they don't install on your cards since they use same install scripts, only the IDs differ.

JackieChan · Oct 28, 2007, 09:50 PM

My card is on the list of supported drivers.

"Radeon HD 2600 XT (Omega 3.8.421) " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9588

Its made by Sapphire. But when i install the drivers then reboot, its not loading the drivers and keeps saying "new hardware found (vga compatible)"

Any idea why this is happening?

Drandari · Oct 29, 2007, 04:41 AM

Hi, i have just registered to say that i have the same problem with the x1950xt: after installation it seems like nothing had happened, Windows keeps on asking drivers for the video card.

Ivy Mike · Oct 29, 2007, 05:24 AM

Omega -

I don't believe I have tried earlier Omega drivers on my x1950xt (bought it recently and I think I just went with Catalysts to start). When I get the chance (don't mean to leave you hanging, heh), I will try to install older versions of your driver to see if it is an issue w/Omega drivers in general or just the most recent ones based on 7.9.

Phrozin · Oct 29, 2007, 08:01 AM

Hi ppl,I have new Gecube Ati Hd2600 Pro 512mb Agp card,but driver that came with cd installs fine,but get graphic anomalys in in-game menus & games like Halo,Oblivion,Bioschock.Downloaded new Omega3.8.421,but doesn't install driver.Got a Catalyst 7.10 driver that installed fine,but got errors in "dxdiag" in D3D in all tests.Will not start even "halo1".No support at Gecube home-page or Ati on my card.Is there a solution 4 me?Now I have a brand new card that can only play solitaire or "neighbours from hell".My device id is: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9587&SUBSYS_002818BC&REV_
For my first time experience with Ati,I must say it's not a good 1 ppl!

Stormblade · Oct 29, 2007, 10:42 AM

Hi there. I just upgraded to Vista not to long ago. I've always used Omega Drivers. So my question is, where do I start my begging to you for Vista compatible Omega drivers?

Knight_Rider · Oct 30, 2007, 06:28 AM

Is the new ATT compatible with CCC cause saw a new function in version 1.3.6.1042
[*] Updated registry handling function under CCC compatibly mode

Need to adjust overscan CCC. Thanks

Well,the guys at "Ati support" says that it may be that my graphics card is faulty.I dont think so.Driver on the cd that came with my card is "ver.8.40"I can play "Sin Episodes emergence"with a few glithches where lights&fire are(it makes blocks)Is my problem shaders orientated,wich could be drivers?

Hi,Stormblade.On "Omegadrive's" website he said he doesn't like Vista yet,and therefore there isn't vista-omega drivers yet.The message is on his site.

Vengeful#1 · Oct 30, 2007, 05:32 PM

Omega,

In this driver version the ATI 3D Controll panel does not work for me. If i click the shortcut icon it does nothing and if go into properties>Settings it doesnt even show the controll panel is installed..any ideas on this?

Thanks

Some others are also having problems with the old CP too, specially newer cards, so I'm thinking that soon I will be removing it from my drivers and just distribute the drivers plus ATT alone, there is no point anymore to keep distributing it since ATI is not updating it anyway, so a lot of new features and settings are missing from it.

As for Vista32 drivers, I'm planning already to do a few beta releases of what I have so far, not many changes from the core drivers, but is a start.

petruccig · Oct 31, 2007, 09:50 AM

Hi,
I appeal especially to Omegadrive. I want to know if the last omegadriver 3.8.421 support the Sapphire hd2600 pro 512Mb agp.If no,what you recommended to me? Like phrozin I have found serious problems in the menu and the graphics of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.The last Omega drivers seems do not work. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

I have the same Sapphire card. I installed the Omegas on top of the Cat 7.10's and all works great.

jhardy89 · Nov 1, 2007, 12:03 PM

I'm running a Sapphire HD 2600 PRO 512MB AGP 8X (WINDOWS XP), and I just thought I'd let you know that the OMEGA drivers aren't working for me; I'm having the same issues as most others who've posted in this thread, i.e. after installation, I restart the PC, and I get the New Hardware detected, so clearly, something's not going right.

Here's my card ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9587&SUBSYS_00281002&REV_00

Hope to see this issue fixed soon, as it seems that ATI have stopped support for AGP on their latest Catalyst driver download, as I can't get that to install for me, as it says I don't have the hardware.

Cheers.

EDIT: Oh, and also, I was wondering whether, once a fix is released, that I can install the Omega drivers and Tools directly over my current Catalyst drivers and CCC? If not, what do I have to do?

amoodswing · Nov 1, 2007, 01:20 PM

Good on you Omegadrive man. The v3.8.421 works just fine and better than the Catalyst 7.10 on my system. Good work ! Im happy,

amoodswing

Audi · Nov 1, 2007, 10:06 PM

With one is better ?
The 7.9 Omega or the 7.10?
