    Hello, I bought this laptop yesterday and formatted a Fedora x86-64 & Windows XP x64.

    I could not find any drivers for the video card for Windows XP x64 or any version of linux. In fact, I couldn't find any drivers at all, not even x86.

    All I know about the video card is there's a sticker that says "Up to 1279MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory".

    I tried the HD 2400 series driver for xp x64 from ATI.com but when I try to install it, it says: "Setup was unable to find compnents that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration. Please make sure you have the required hardware or software."

    I'd try the old 'Have Disk' method. GPU drivers often doesn't recognize laptop GPUs. Just download the x64 driver from ATI and don't let Windows to go for the automatic install, do it manually.

    Haha it worked, I forgot about that. There we're at least six "HD 2400 XT" in a row, I just selected the first one and it works fine now :) Thanks, I was scared I wouldn't be able to run x64 O/S.
