A few older cards isn't supported by the official ati mobility drivers...

It's not older it's one of the few integrated card solutions of ATI

Edit:It's also newer than ATI MOBILITY FIRE GL T2/T2e

One question: I have a Mobility Radeon 9700.. the driver works fine, but the resolution for my wide-screen display doesn't get detected (1280x800)...
will this get fixed in the next version...
and how can I enable this resolution manually as temporarly solution?

CHUCKYCHUCK · Jul 15, 2005, 08:11 AM

Another question, i read on the ATI website, that the catalyst mobility only supports X700 and X800 cards.
This driver seems to be a different one, but i can't get to this page from the website root, strange isn't it ???
bye

ghost_zero · Jul 15, 2005, 08:15 AM

yes that I also think is strange.. maybe ATI didn't update their page properly

..?

CHUCKYCHUCK · Jul 15, 2005, 09:27 AM

But did they make 2 differents drivers,one for X700-X800 and one for the other mobilities ? Or did they just forget some cards on the readme of the X700-X800 driver ?
thanks

No.. I don't would say that they made two different driver sets:
What you can normally currently download is the under 1MB file with which you can test if your card is supported... I believe if the card would be supported you get access to the driver (URL). But I believe the tester program is not up-to-date or to forgot to remove the need of the test program or whatever...

Btw. I now manually change the one entry DALNonStandardModesBCD1 to the following to get wide-screen working (although I hope this will be included next time from the fly):

HKR,, DALNonStandardModesBCD1, %REG_BINARY%,10,24,06,00,00,00,00,60,10,24,04,80,0 0,00,00,60,12,80,06,00,00,00,00,60,12,80,07,68,00, 00,00,60,12,80,08,00,00,00,00,60,08,00,04,80,00,00 ,00,60,16,80,10,50,00,00,00,60,19,20,12,00,00,00,0 0,60,09,60,06,00,00,00,00,60,08,48,04,80,00,00,00, 60,16,00,10,24,00,00,00,60

so these drivers have no 1280x800 support on mr9700??

thats what i have..

with the desktop 5.7 installed.. i do get 1280x800.. maybe i should just stick with it since its running great..

what do you think zero.. are these gonna be any faster then the desktop 5.7??

hmmm just realised the link only has the ccc version.. i prefer cp versions of the driver.. is there a cp version of these?

Canon20d · Jul 16, 2005, 12:12 AM

damn! i Just fixed the flicker problem with my dell when i open the screen with 5.7 desktop, now i see 5.7 Mobility supports my card
CRAP
day late and a dollar short
Edit:
damn, it HAD to come with CCC didnt it :P i hate that thing
oh well i hear its better now,ill try it and see
is there a CP version (i hope)
edit 2: 1680x1050 worked fine for me

PoTaToX · Jul 16, 2005, 04:03 AM

Yeah 1680x1050 works also perfect on my 9700. If you realy don't want the CCC, just open the drives, lets it extract it to C:\ATI\SUPPORT\5-7-mobile_xp_dd_ccc_enu_24089 when you can press Next in the setup, just quit it... remove the ACE folder from the C:\ATI\SUPPORT\5-7-mobile_xp_dd_ccc_enu_24089 folder and just run setup

It wont install the CCC, or just de-select in @ custum setup..

Here is the link to the newest Control Panel: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/5-7_xp-2k_cp_24085.exe

@vulkan: It should work with widescreen resolutions, my 1680x1050 is detected fine.

@CHUCKCHUCK: The X700/X800 mobility drivers are the same as these. They "officially" release these drivers as only x700/x800 drivers but when you check the inf drivers files you just see that it support more than just the x700/x800

ghost_zero · Jul 16, 2005, 05:38 AM

Strange... mine didn't get detected.. only after changing the one value I mentioned above...

@PoTaTox:
I just wanted to mention this...

I mean that you would just need to select Custom and just install the driver and then go and download the latest ControlPanel from the ATI-Website...

But since v5.6 (and with v5.7 even better) is the CCC extremely nice too...
