    No,the inf's in that thread is specific to the 310.33etc NVIDIA beta drivers.

    The issues mentioned in that thread re disabling the 9400 are the same regardless of driver.

    Nothing on Laptopvideo2Go for the 313.96 either however the 260m and 280m's are supported by that driver so shouldn't need a modded the inf?

    I figured out that you can modify the inf from driver to driver, i been using the same inf format for the whql drivers and the beta drivers, 2 different inf's i just leave the top section alone and copy the whole bottom section and it installs like a charm. I can send you a modded inf for it if you get me the hardware id.

    Yes it will install like a charm and work but not to the drivers and your cards maximum potential. The whole idea of the inf is that it is driver specific. Each inf has within that data specific parameters for the different aspects of the specific driver, as I understand it, the shader rates, the antt-aliasing rates and a hell of a lot more stuff I've left to other people more qualified. Hence the reason for the different "flavor's", like Doc's famous inf's. If it was just as simple as just listing your cards it would have been done b4.
