I normally go to the hp site for my lappy, but i was wondering if it was ok to get the drivers directly from ati?

Not unless you use the Dhmodtool1.7.exe to patch it up first.

I've been doing that for a while now, like this morning, to update the drivers of the Mobility Radeon 9000 in this Toshiba.

Works like a charm.

So this mod lets us adjust the settings on the card?
Wont mess up my Ati 9200 will it? Why do I need the mod, cant i just install the drivers directly from ati?

Strangely enough, no.

The tool will modify some .INF files in the folder where the installer will expand into. Then the installation process will continue on properly.

Without the patch, the installation will just refuse to run on the laptop.

Or at least it does for my 9000.

A few buddies here at work also use it and everyone has gad 100% success with this.

That would be great. I'll modify my other post to reflect.

I recall reading up about a 2.0 version being either available or in the works, but could not find it.

Once again, I must bow before you l33t Net hunting skillz.



When I launched it, it told me my driver set had already been modified.
