You could use these http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33791010 untill the new Omegas come out which you will see posted on this site or http://www.omegadrivers.net. They should be out by the end of the week.

I would just wait for the Omegas though.

So I can use any ATI video card driver???There's not a special set of drivers for Mobility Radion cards????

well the Official ATI drivers from there website always have to be modded a certain way using another program or editing certain files yourself so they install. They do not provide an install prog that will run properly on laptops as it can never find the video card properly. They expect mobile users to download there drivers from their manufacturers page like dell. alienware, fujitsu, sager etc etc.

For me I never download dell drivers as I find them really poor performance wise and they take months before releasing updated ones.

With omega's drivers he takes the officials and works his magic and uses certain tweaks to boost the performance of the driver for both desktop and mobile users.

I have used omegas drivers for months and think they are great. Instalation is always smooth.

For the moment you could just use the drivers he currently has on his site untill he releases his new ones which he said would be by the end of the week.
