    Hello, as you can pretty much guess, i really need a driver for this card.

    I have just bought my laptop, and i uninstalled the old driver ( as you do with graphics card drivers ) only to find out i cannot find any new drivers!

    I briefly reinstalled the old ones and i've tested some games (they run suprsingly well) but now i notice i do not have a control panel in display properties (and all the games i've played have antiailising on) which of course makes it slower.

    If anyone knows the most up-to-date one that would please me very much!!

    Thank you.

    Turning on AA and AF is not an advisable thing to do on a low-end card such as the X200M.

    Josh, there's a thread here in the Gaming forum with a link to the latest ATI Mobility Catalyst 6.3 drivers. Those should work fine for you. ;)

    Nope they don't work. Welcome to the joys of the 200M ;)

    You need to extract the drivers, and manualy install them with device manager, choosing the X300 driver file. Or you can just use the omega drivers, and they work straight off the bat.

    Hey that's not right. True is that the mobiliy drivers don't work. You have to get the ATI Radeon drivers for motherboards with ATI chipset - ATI Radeon IGP drivers. They work just nicely

    Well they dont work on my laptop, and alot of other ones out there. But if they work that would be the way to go.

    All though I think this is mostly just a problem with the intel 200M's, as the AMD ones are are bit older and better supported.
