Driverheaven Mobility Mod Tool

patje · Apr 18, 2003, 05:49 AM

I am proud to present Driverheaven's newest baby called: DH Mobility Mod Tool

This tool modifies a catalyst set to support mobility chipsets.

check it out overhere : On my modding section

Right now the tool makes a catalyst set available for the following cards:

Mobility Fire GL 9000
Mobility Radeon 9000
Radeon Mobility
Radeon Mobility 7500
Radeon Mobility 7500 GL
IGP 340M
IGP 320M

You can use it with every version of catalyst available and with future versions, so for all mobility owners it's a "must have"

Thanks for the great Tool Patje (and the rest who worked on this great tool),

Going to download it right now and keep it
in a very safe place

I have a question tho:

Does this tool also change some other parameters in the .INF file(s) (Optimalisation?)
or does it just change the settings needed to get the Catalyst drivers working
on the laptops/notebooks?

Skillz,

Good question, For the moment the modder only mods the drivers to make them installable.
Maybe future relases will contain optimalizations?? who knowes??

Hi,

I found this board on my 'quest for the holy ATI mobility driver'. I have a Compaq 1525EA with a ATI IGP 340M. I tried to install both the premodded driverset and the original 3.2 Catalyst drivers, altered using the dhmodtool. Unfortunately, I keep getting the 'inf error - video driver not found' error when executing Setup.exe.

I have done this using both the standard vga drivers and the winxp wdm drivers.

Thnx in advance,

ReV

Rev,

Nice to have you on the forum. Your quest will soon come to an end ...

I'm looking into a way to make the igp installable.
Could you try to install it as a RADEON VE? you can choose this by manually updating drives trough the device manager.
Select search for drivers....
select specify a location...
browse for the modded inf file (for win2k = C2_xxx.inf for XP = CX_xxx.inf) and then you'll get a list of all the ati cards.
Choose the radeon VE card and install it.
Or try to select the IGP 340 and install it.

PS: if the radeon VE is not in the list, try using an original set

Hope it helps

Wow, it worked

I deleted C2_xxx.inf just to make sure there weren't any conflicts. Then i tried to do a manual install. I didn't have the choice between IGP 340M or Radeon VE, WinXP automatically chose the first one. But it works, that's all i need

Thnx a lot for the prog and the help, patje
