    Btw make sure you uninstall your drivers before installing the new ones. If the installation doesnt work it will just leave the same drivers on.

    As you can see all lead to ati2mtag_M88. So if you scroll a bit down in the .inf you are going to see the changes for ati2mtag_M88. Basically its different cards but still same options. Its just to display the right name in the device manager nothing more :(

    Still dont get it seriously. What else are we missing ? :p

    For the driver to work, you should get an error during the installation that says "this driver might not be compatible with your system bla bla bla, install anyway or cancel". If you dont see that it means the display driver probably wont install.

    As ive noticed (after 1000 installations), if "ATI catalyst install manager" is greyed out it means the display driver wont install, so be sure to check that one first.

    Btw, zfactor is right, people are having problems modding the 9.2's even with the mobility modder. ATI probably changed something in their driver configuration that might have a conflict with the mobility modder. The .inf might be ok but the mobility modder might not be doing a good job in our case.

    Yea but without E's tweaks :p
    If you add those tweaks in the .inf it doesnt install :(

    Wish i knew which part of the .inf fixes the resolution issues. Thats the only think i care about to be honest :p

    Moo, can you check if the info are the same please? I still find it strange that some people dont have the scaling problem.

    Also check the info under "details" tab for, Hardware Ids and compatible Ids.

    Why don't we stop all works and sent pm to E-wrecked about those inf files? I think someone that don't have the problem with mob modded bcoz they didn't use another resolution (I guess).

    This is strange, any resolution under 1440x900 will be scaled for me, anything above it will not be scaled.

    He had a Whitebook, but ya, he did sell it but said he would still stick around and keep modding the drivers and stuff. He prolly just has other things that require his attention. Not sure if he is in school (college) or not, but that can easily swamp you down.
