ATI 9.4 Released

Get it while it's hot: sizzlin'

 

thanks for th info

 

what`s the point when you have to wait for someone to mod it,and then you have to jump though hoops to install it, i hate ATI for this.

 

thanks. that was fast.

 

I am gona wait for it to come through the windows update thing on W7.

 

I don't know what you mean by this, get mobility modder, a free small tool, run it on the catalyst installer file BEFORE you install it, and your good to go. Worked for an Xpress 200m (MR x300) notebook I fixed for someone a few weeks ago, that was Cat 9.2 but it should still work the same.

 

? there was a win 7 beta 9.3 designed for win 7 ill link for you

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=369825

there are no hoops mob mod and click setup

that 9.3 for win 7 is actually a mobility driver so you dont have to mob mod

 

There is a 9.4 for W7 too. I am just too lazy to install it myself, I don't have much of a need anyway. Though I might give it a go.

 

mobility modder only works on 9.2 and below , after that you need a modded .inf file also.

 

Is it a performance update?

 

The latest 9.4 driver for ati mobility HD2xxx, HD3xxx, HD4xxx. 100% working
simple steps:

1. download the latest ati desktop driver Catalyst 9.4.
2. download mobility modder.net (actually, it's not useful)
3. upzip ati driver to C:\ati
4. run mobility modder, locate the source to C:\ati, click modify until finished
5. open property of "My Computer", check the "hardware device", check the property of your mobility radeo n display card, it should be something like"PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&SUBSYS_FF1E1179" (FF1E1179 is id of TOSHIBA)
6. go to "C:\ATI\Support\9-4_xp32_dd\XP_INF" similar path, open "CX_78234" or "CX_xxxxx" inf file, add ""ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 3650" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&SUBSYS_FF1E1179" to that list.
7. go to "C:\ATI\Support\9-4_xp32_dd" path, open "CX_78234" or "CX_xxxxx" inf file, under [WINXP], add"0x9591:0xFF1E1179," add",R6_97,R6_98,R6_99" after label, which is very important!!
8. go to "C:\ATI\Support\9-4_xp32_dd" path, open "INSTALL.inf" file, under [WINXP], add"0x9591:0xFF1E1179," add",R6_97,R6_98,R6_99" after label, which is very important!!
9. done! run "setup.exe" under "C:\ATI\Support\9-4_xp32_dd" path.

notice: the thick is that you should add "&SUBSYS_FF1E1179" to your inf file, and add "0x9591:0xFF1E1179" to two inf files, and very important add "R6_99" to two inf files.
if you miss "R6_99" in two inf files, the program will even not run to "&SUBSYS_FF1E1179" line. it seems check the label first.
cheers~

 

I really wish ATI would start offering drivers for notebook/mobile versions of their cards.

Nvidia is doing it. Why hasn't AMD/ATI followed suit?

 

ATI has and will release and has always been releasing drivers specifically for mobile graphics cards, you just have to use the direct download link to their mobility drivers found in the "Upgrading Your Graphics Card Drivers" thread.

Mobility 9.4's are not yet out, give them a couple of days, you can get them hot and fresh here:

Those are only for XP though, aren't they?

 

For W7 too. Got it working, didn't do me much good for CSS, went back to the early Beta drivers.

 

Yes unfortunately those Mobility drivers are for XP only.
