Rock on!!

Good to see such fast releases!

Little note though: Your pics show Ati FireGl Mobility 7500, should be 7800 (for the FireGL).

Second thing is a question, is there support for the Ati FireGL Mobility T2? (it just came out, download the mobile comparison pdf file from www.atitech.com and it's listed at the top. Also the Hp/Compaq nw8000 currently utilizes it).

Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!! We all appreciate it!!!!!!!

Oh quick other question, does this enable powerplay + overdrive for the M10 series?

**Firtol88** · Oct 18, 2003, 12:39 PM

You are a gentleman, a scholar, and a drinker of fine beers!!!

**Pressure** · Oct 19, 2003, 07:46 AM

Pretty swanky work there David

I would probably use it if I had a laptop heh

**dmantione** · Oct 19, 2003, 09:04 AM

When are you going to support the Win9x drivers?

**d-force** · Oct 19, 2003, 09:08 AM

to dmantoine, when someone finds a driver which supports all the mobility series.

I'm sorry, but 98/Me and 2K/XP driver inf formats are 100% incompatible, so...

**Bibbit** · Oct 19, 2003, 10:26 AM

Forgive my ignorance, but how would I go about upgrading my current ATI drivers on my Compaq X1010US? Do I need to uninstall the current drivers first, or should I just install the new drivers (3.8) and then tweak? I'm simply not familiar with notebook driver upgrades like this. I know Compaq says I should only use their drivers as they are tweaked for my specific screen, is there any truth to that?

Again, forgive my ignorance, but I assume this handles widescreen notebook too?

Questions, questions, and more questions. Sorry to be a bit of a pain...

**d-force** · Oct 19, 2003, 10:54 AM

You should download the drivers, extract, modify with MobileMod then install.

**Bibbit** · Oct 19, 2003, 11:31 AM

Thanks. Will the Catalyst uninstall work should I not like the setup?

**d-force** · Oct 19, 2003, 11:52 AM

Everything will work like on desktop, once MobileMod has done its job

??? Since I mod them by hand I guess they do. Besides my own laptop, with M7500, I've also done this for an IGP340 and that did work fine too.

Yes, it would be some work, but is it an obstacle?

**Ady** · Oct 19, 2003, 12:31 PM

thanks! Great job!

Well, i've not yet found a single driver for 9200/9600 and Windows 98/Me, and besides, the quantity of users with that config is extremely low, and it would hard to get proper beta testing.

**Bibbit** · Oct 19, 2003, 01:51 PM

Now I'm confused. Does this work with the Mobility 9600?

**d-force** · Oct 19, 2003, 01:53 PM

Yes.

**Spankmaster C** · Oct 19, 2003, 01:57 PM

I guess it works, under 2k/XP

**genci88** · Oct 19, 2003, 06:35 PM

Just downloaded. Gonna try it today on my friend's laptop.

**tho** · Oct 19, 2003, 08:37 PM

Is there any way to modify the professional fireGL drivers to be installed on a normal radeon card (MR7500) using this utility?

**d-force** · Oct 19, 2003, 09:40 PM

Sadly, there isn't

**Schizophonic** · Oct 20, 2003, 05:59 AM

Bid UP dude. You know who i am but great work!
ATI should give you a full time job!

**nikita** · Oct 20, 2003, 12:36 PM

Do I get better performance than when using Omegas ... better benchies..??

**d-force** · Oct 20, 2003, 12:42 PM

In some cases, yes, other cases no.

One thing is certain, you will get your drivers without all the extra bullsh*t - and without ANY INF tweaks like Omega does.

**The K Man** · Oct 20, 2003, 01:57 PM

Very sweet!

Great App! Worked like a charm and now I can run the 3.8 cats on my notebook so I can play games at work! Might be a bad thing but I will try anything once or until I get caught. IBM was so far behind on there video drivers updates and they had very limited control pannel. All is well now. Thanks again.

**cazurela** · Oct 20, 2003, 05:16 PM

Is POWERPLAY enabled??

Keep up the good work D-Force!!!

The only question I've got is that when I use your MobileMod utility will the POWERPLAY tab be installed for an M7500 (DELL INSPIRION 5100 notebook)??

Thanks!!

**Yotce** · Oct 21, 2003, 09:16 AM

Sorry if my post is out of topic, but... doese somebody know similar tool for nVidia cards? I has Radeon on my desktop PC, but my notebook is equiped with Geforce 440 Go ... it seems that driver updates for mobile comes very rarely :-(

**rinthos** · Oct 21, 2003, 10:23 AM

re:nvidia

For nvidia it is simple. download and unzip drivers (decompress via running .exe).

then just using windows device manager, update driver, and select the compatible desktop card. i.e. Geforce4go 440 = Geforce 4 mx 440.

Easy as pie.

**Gambino** · Oct 23, 2003, 02:31 PM

Great application, works like a charm!!!

I do have some mixed results though.
First of all the modder works great, I can easily install the latest Catalyst drivers after modding it with this tool, so that is nice ofcourse.

Though the modded drivers don't really work 100% correctly. I have an Acer TravelMate 803 LMib and the drivers Acer supplies work fine (Catalyst 3.1 btw). If I mod the drivers with your tool, they work, but they introduce minor display corruption. It is like it is not working 100% correctly with the LCD on the notebook.

I read that ATi doesn't supply drivers for the mobility drivers because the can't support the wide variaty of LCD screens used on laptops, so it is the responsibility of the supplier to mod the drivers to fit the LCD.
I'm starting to think that that is why the modded drivers don't work correctly on my notebook.

Anyways this is not your fault ofcourse, you can't do much about it.
Just a warning, something to consider if you are modding your drivers for use with your notebook.

Again great work!! But I hope ATi will support the mobility in the future so hacking drivers will be a thing of the past.

MobileMod 4.0 and Sony Vaio PCG-GRV680

Has anyone tested this on a Sony Vaio PCG-GRV680 w/ 64Mb Mobility Radeon 9000? If not, I'll post whether I have success or not... Trying to play Star Wars Galaxies on this machine with no luck... Scoured the net for days trying to find an updated driver... Even called Sony and cursed the support tech who said to keep checking the site. Buddy I've been checking the site for 4 months now...

**rtheman** · Nov 7, 2003, 04:35 PM

YES!

I can now play SWG on my Sony Vaio PCG-GRV680! THanks sooooooooo much!

The normal display is somewhat hazy now, but the game works fine! I don't really care about pictures etc on this machine since I have a nice desktop for that stuff... When you have to get your gaming fix on the go that other stuff doesn't matter so much.

Works great, Catalyst 3.9 2thumbs up! Like I said my display is a little hazy now (looking at default WinXP background) but thats fine by me. This is my gamin laptop (well after i take care of those remote clients...) and I am happy that I can use the onboard video for what I bought it for now.

D-Force you rool.. Nice work.

Get an A+ for dev skills in my book.

Hey there...

I'm VERY new to all this, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I have a Sony GRX600P w/ a Radeon 7500 32M.

I have DL'd the mobliemod4 program, but I'm unable to locate my driverset then when I cancel out of the load it tells me a bunch of stuff and says Driver can be modified. I click modify now and I get a "Can not write to"

Can someone help?

Thanks,

Tom

**infamous_pb** · Nov 14, 2003, 09:44 AM

I cant get Mobile Mod 4 to work with Cat 3.9. Whats the trick? Does Mobile Mod 4 work w/ Cat 3.9??? I've gotten Mobile Mod 3 to work w/ Cat 3.6.......

**JCS311** · Nov 15, 2003, 09:24 PM

Is this compatible with the Radeon IGP 345M? and if so, where can i go to get the drivers?

Do the following:

1. Download and run the Catalyst drivers... This will produce an error message about no hardware found... simply click ok.
2. Run MobileMod and point to the path the drivers where extracted to (usually C:\ATI\). You will need to search through the subfolders until you find a file starting with CX_ (for WinXP). Select this file.
3. Press modify now.
4. If you downloaded the complete package you have to go to the "Driver" subfolder and run the setup.exe in there and for the Control Panel go to the "CPanel" subfoldere and run the setup.exe located there.

Errors

I get an info error and another error telling me to make sure i have my agp drivers installed first.

**Froody8** · Nov 27, 2003, 10:04 AM

Mobility FireGL T2

d-force-

thanks for putting out such a good product. i was wondering if you were going to add support for the new Mobility FireGL T2s. i've been taking a look at the modifications that you make to the inf file, but i still can't get the T2 to accept Catalyst drivers. any help or advice? TIA.

**RacingGun** · Dec 1, 2003, 06:31 AM

Anyone know if this works for laptops that have a WXGA (widescreen). Specifically the Compac X1050, it has a Mobility Radeon 9200 with 32 meg descrete.

**easirok** · Dec 9, 2003, 09:38 PM

MM4 w/ mobility 9000 and cat 3.9

MM4 seems to work fine with the catalyst 3.8 drivers, but I cant seem to get it to work with the 3.9 release. After updating the driver, cat 3.9 still refuses to install.

This is a Sager laptop (NP5660) with Radeon Mobility 9000.

Anyone able to get a similar combination to work? And is there an additional step involved for the 3.9 driver release?

**SD79** · Dec 16, 2003, 12:12 PM

I cannot get this too work with a Mobile Radeon 9600 128mb.

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Unpack the drivers (CAT 3.9) use mobilemod too modify files.
Run control panel setup - works fine.
Run setup.eve in driver folder - Reports cannot find inf file - you may not have standard VGA adapter installed.
I used Driver cleaner to clean out all the file for my mobility. Uninstalled the card from system profile and restarted. It just starts the system up with an adapter called VGAsave.

I have tried wrestling around with it and I just can't seem to get it to install this mythical standard VGA adapter driver.

So no CAT 3.9's for me :-(

Anyone have any ideas?
