    You just have to use ^ that direct download link, you will not find them by navigating through their website. They should work will all ATI mobile chips. Currently the latest out through that link are the 9.3 drivers, the 9.4's should be released soon through that same link. There is no need for mobility modder and the like.

    *Apparently Tinderbox (UK) has discovered that these cards only work on x86 XP and only with the follow cards:

    I had a look at the .inf file in the download linked and it only supports older cards by the look of it.

    Your right, guess I was wrong then, since my laptop has a X1600 I've been using these drivers forever and they've always worked fine, my apologies for generalizing and thinking that they would work for all ATI mobility cards. :eek:
