Im gonna try to mode the beta 8.07 drivers but where are they hosted at? I cant find them on ATI's website

midnilux · Sep 30, 2004, 06:01 PM

Ok I modded the drivers then tried to instal them and it said my stuff is not compatible, so it isnt working with the 8.07 beta , I did make the support folder and everything you said, it says said modded succesfuly but the ATI installer says my stuff isnt compatible

I'm kind of enjoying the omega 4.9's.

Omega's always install like a charm!

It'd be great if this problem had an easy solution.

Any news on this?

patje:

I've messed with ATI's orginal inf file (CX_17633.inf catalyst 4.9), I added yours:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 (by me

)" = ati2mtag_M9, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4C66
[ati2mtag_M9],
[ati2mtag_M9.Services],
[ati2mtag_M9.SoftwareSettings] &
[ati2mtag_M9_SoftwareDeviceSettings];

M9 - since i have mobility9000...

Doing this i could install driver (update/reinstall driver) but i had no 3D support, like stated in this thread! I used fresh WinXP SP2 (slipstreamed) instalation, with no previous ati/omega/modded drivers installed. Dakle - NO GO!

BUT; when i replaced [ati2mtag_M9_SoftwareDeviceSettings] section inside CX_17633.inf with Omega's [ati2mtag_M9_SoftwareDeviceSettings], from his inf file (no matter what version) I had regular instalation & everything went fine! I have 3D now...

Is there any chance you verify this?

Here's Omega's [ati2mtag_M9_SoftwareDeviceSettings] (NOTE MANY MORE SETTINGS):

Hi Samir, Thanks for your effort. I'm aware of the problem and also aware that it is something in the software devicesettings section.
The thing is when I modded the 8.07 beta drivers with the normal settings it worked, i had 3d support. The questions is now, will the 4.10 also have this problem? or was it just with cat 4.9? I hope we will know in a few days

In the mean while i'm working on a new version of the mod tool, which will support more cards. again thanks for your time to post your findings.

Not only 4.9 gave me trouble on fresh installed XP SP2, but also 4.7, 4.8... I've never tried beta 8.07, but i will soon as possible... When will they make 4.10?

Thanks for your reply!

Keep up the good work patje...
