    is this possible if I modify the inf? Im not really sure what to change to make it work. I actually extracted the atiumdag.dll to my skyrim folder and it seems good, but Id like to just install the entire thing.

    why do u want m18x drivers if u want the latest amd ati drivers for 5850m get them here ATI Catalyst? Mobility Display Driver

    using the m18x drivers would add a lot of useless stuff like integrated graphics, non specific support for the 5850m.....

    ive had better luck with official dell drivers, but the ones for the m15x are ancient now.

    well keep in mind that the dell drivers are optimized for there respective models. But i have always had better results with amd drivers than the old dell ones. i believe it was 11.7 that were very good....
