device id number: 0x5462

Turks i will update the program, so that when people download it, it will have the new support. I will post here when it is uploaded.

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5835&SUBSYS_19021043&REV_00\4&176 C5903&0&2808

hi again.

spike, is this the code that you want? my os is not english so i am not sure this is the code.

**Spike** · Jun 13, 2007, 02:45 PM

lkrtkgz yes that has the id in it. Will check it in the modding files.

-=The_PoLe=- will also check your id in the files.

Hope to solve this. Please be patient.

**Spike** · Jun 14, 2007, 10:37 AM

-=The_PoLe=- i think i have found the problem. Your id is in the id list, but i forgot to add it also to the list that updates the ini and dat file so if it is not in there the install will fail. It will be fixed in the next version. Sorry for that.

I am still looking for the other problems.

Сhrono · Jun 14, 2007, 01:45 PM

Hi. I was realy happy to test your programm but...
I've modified XP catalyst 7,5, drivers installed normaly and after reboot there were no errors.
But when I'm trying to run any 3D application - it says something like "Failed to create Direct3D device" or "Your video card is not hardware-accelerated".
My chip is IGP 340M.

**Spike** · Jun 14, 2007, 02:16 PM

Сhrono can you check that the driver is installed and that there is no warning in the device manager by the display adapter?

Driver installed normaly, and there is no warning in the device manager.

**Spike** · Jun 15, 2007, 03:54 AM

Сhrono see what happens if you would install the latest June DirectX version.

darkrangr · Jun 15, 2007, 05:04 AM

i tried the vista version and it installed everything but the driver. when i tried using the xp version it gave me a error message saying it was for xp/2000 only :/

**Spike** · Jun 15, 2007, 07:06 AM

darkrangr have you modded the xp driver? is so did you also try updating the driver through the device manager and then pointing it to the modded xp inf file?

hygropolrekodine · Jun 15, 2007, 01:17 PM

After using Mobility Modder to modify CCC 7.5 from ATI, my computer did a hardware crash where my system was completely unresponsive. I waited until there was no disk activity, then I had to physically power down my system. That's something I don't like doing.

Thanks for making suck a great product

ATI Mobility Radeon X800
Windows Vista

**Spike** · Jun 15, 2007, 01:36 PM

hygropolrekodine you are the first to have that problem.

I am not sure what could cause it, but it is possible that it happens because there are older drivers on it. You could try uninstalling all ati drivers and then run the new setup again.

Nothing changed... I've updated DirectX to June 2007 version, but errors are the same.

darkrangr · Jun 18, 2007, 06:16 AM

directing it to the modded 7.5 xp drivers worked and i now have the correct reso settings and multi-monitor support. not sure how well games run or if the catalyst center works but what counts to me is that i can read the screen clearly

thanks mucho

thelonesoldier · Jun 19, 2007, 08:14 AM

I have an Acer Aspire 5672 notebook with Mobility Radeon x1600 (Windows XP Home). The Acer drivers are more than a year out of date so I tried using the mod tool with the latest ATI drivers. They installed fine and Windows seems okay, but when I play Counter-Strike Source the game will freeze after 20-30 seconds, which is far worse than with the original drivers. I haven't tested anything else yet.

**Spike** · Jun 19, 2007, 10:50 AM

thelonesoldier try uninstalling all previous drivers and then reinstall the new modded ones.

thelonesoldier · Jun 19, 2007, 05:03 PM

Oi, here we go again.

This always wastes hours of time and it never works, but I'll try again anyway.

Will there be anything you can do if it doesn't work?

**Spike** · Jun 20, 2007, 04:23 AM

If it doesn't work you can always uninstall and install the original drivers.

I am not sure why by some people the modded drivers don't work, but i am trying to fix most of it.

thelonesoldier · Jun 20, 2007, 07:07 PM

Yeah, obviously I can install the original drivers, but is there anything you can do to make your mod program work better with my system?

Different laptops have different hardware setups and require different drivers, that's why there isn't a universal driver package for every ATI Mobility card.

I have the same laptop with an X1400 and I get the same thing, as well as CCC not opening. After screwing around with it all morning, testing both official mobility drivers and mobile-modded desktop and getting nowhere (including rounds of drivercleaner), I just said fuck it and went back to 7.4, which works perfectly without any hassle.

Whatever, ATI doesn't care about laptops and doesn't ever seem to want to know when anything goes wrong. I'll just wait and see if they happen to accidentally fix it in the next release. Make a support request anyway, it might help.

btw, here's a link to the universal mobility driver, which does exist and gets updated with each release. Since only 7.5 is available there now, here's a site with a copy of mobility 7.4; at least it's worth a try.

Carol_00 · Jun 21, 2007, 12:29 AM

I have an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1800 on Windows Vista. I did everything on the install guide... and everything seems to install correctly but when the "modified" drivers install in the computer then i get and instant layer of fog on my computer... everything looks kind of blurry... same color.... like fog is the best descrption i find for it... The colors loose brightness and definition.
I know is the Driver cause i uninstalled everything again... and it happen again... :S.

Please help me!! Anyway i have to thank u guys so much cause... Before the modder i had tried everything else and it didnt work... this is my last obstacle!!

**Spike** · Jun 21, 2007, 03:26 AM

thelonesoldier the modder does not make it universal. All main settings in the drivers are the same only the settings for the devices is diferent in the drivers. That is what my modder adds.

So it will add the specific settings for the mobility devices to the inf and other files.

foxyshadis i don't know why it happens, but i keep working on the program and hope to improve it.

Carol_00 have you tried changing resolution and refresh rate? Maybe it is at the wrong setting.

redheat · Jun 21, 2007, 06:42 AM

Dear all,

when I install my modded Vista 64 bit Catalyst 7.5, the installer does not offer to install the control center. The driver installs fine though.
Is there a CCC for Vista 64 bit at all? What can I do to install it?

nsm1975 · Jun 21, 2007, 07:51 AM

Good afternoon. Please add my videoadapter in the list of your good program.
My notebook ACER 3650 series.

VIDEO - ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series.
Vendor and Device ID: VEN_1002&DEV_5A62&SUBSYS_01091025

String in the ati inf files:
"ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series" = ati2mtag_RC410M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5A62&SUBSYS_01091025

Big thanks.

**Spike** · Jun 21, 2007, 11:56 AM

nsm1975 yes that will be added in the next update. There are 3 of those chipsets and i couldn't find the settings for 2 of them, but i found them now and have added them.

redheat did the installer offer the driver to install only or did you install the driver through the device manager?

What? Please work on your grammar and spelling. That doesn't make sense.

I hope you understand that different laptops have different hardware configurations which require different settings.

spike, I used the install manager for everything and there was no CCC to select for installation. it also offered a south bridge driver, a MS Visual C++ thingy and the install manager itself - but no CCC.

I tried to find out how to install it by hand but it consists of multiple packages and none of them work when you install it one by one it seems.

**Spike** · Jun 22, 2007, 03:51 AM

thelonesoldier i understand that. Working with inf files now for years so i know how that looks and works with the device settings.

Different hardware configurations have nothing to do with the mobility graphics driver. The settings in the inf file for all the Mobility X1600 are the same. So it doesn't matter if you have a Toshiba with an x1600 or a Acer with an x1600 they all use the same settings for the display driver.

redheat yep it are indeed different packages. Did you download the right driver? the 64bit version? because that should have a CCC version that can be installed. It is wierd that everything else gets installed. Can you check if the msi files from the CCC are the same date as the inf file?

I used the 64 bit Vista package from ATI with all languages in it, not the English only package. Do you think this could make a difference after your patch is applied?

The CCC msis are all the same date as the driver inf file (I guess this is the inf you meant).

Thanks again for all your hints... I really hope this can be fixed somehow or do you know another tool to set the grafics settings with?
