    Are there any Omega drivers for the Mobility x1600? I'm running Vista.

    I don't think there are any Omega drivers for Vista. On the site it says:

    If you cannot get omega drivers for vista then I would suggest you use the Driver Heaven mobility mod tool located here

    All you need to do is go to ATI and download the desktop driver version for your X1600 and then use the mod tool to modify it so it can be used on a notebook. I have done this for the last few months and I am experiencing no issues what so ever. :)

    Glad it worked out ok for you, omega drivers unfortunately right now are months out of date. The guy who runs that webpage seems to be very busy and doesn't seem to be able to keep up anymore :( . So the mobility mod tool is all notebook users really have left if they want reasonably up-to-date drivers.
