7510GX Drivers

This is what I got off my recovery CD. It is a little sloppy but what do you care, you got the drivers now right? All I ask is that you guys help me keep the site up-to-date.

Sound
The only sound drivers I've found so far are the OEM ones that optendo so nicely has provided on his page. As for 64-bit drivers I'm still lost. I've gotten the newest realtek to install and also a packaged ati sound driver from an ecs motherboard site but nothing seems to work. The conexant AC-link chipset has to work on xp pro 64-bit some how. I'm still looking any info appreciated. The driver I thought should work is here. http://64.124.27.138/ecs/driver/mb/beta/ATIVGA.zip

 

Nothing on the smartcard reader drivers still?

Have any of you tried drivers from the 7422gx?

Like this one for the Memory Card Reader...

 

Anyone tried emailing or doing the online chat with gateway and asking them where the drivers for the smart card reader is?


Howard

 

I was hoping some one could try the one here and give the status of that:
http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=19883&dscr=Gateway M520 / 7000 Series Memory Card Reader DriverRevision: 2.2e

Seems like the same 6-1 deally they have been putting in all the 7000 series...

 

Alksolo,
The drivers all worked and those ati drivers did work for the sound, thanks to you I have a fully functional x64 system.
I apreciate the help.

 

Special did you need that card reader driver?

 

Xerxes
Actualy I do, that is if it is compatible with x64.

Thanks

 

the 64bit drivers are great, thanks for collecting them for the post...


If anyone can give me a hand, I'm still not getting the audio, the ATI drivers just aren't doing the trick for me, any special steps I'm missing getting it working?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

 

not usually a big "bump" guy, this has really got me stumped, if I leave the computer long enough to go on standby, the sound works when I restore it, until I reset, and then the sound stops working again.

Any help?

 

Awesome man. I think i need to redo my 64 partition and start with the clean sound drivers. I'm glad to help I spent hours finding that stuff out.

 

I reinstalled 64 but I still can't get those sound drivers to work for me either. Please explain the order you installed the drivers if you got it to work.

 

Alksolo, actualy my laptop is doing exactly the the same as jazzrich9's. If I let it go into standby or tell it to go into standby the sound works. When you first boot the laptop the sound dosent work as soon as you come out of standby it works. Maybe you should give that a try and see what happens. I have no idea why if anyone has some ideas let me know.

Thanks

 

I'm actually kinda thrilled that this is a repeatable problem, I kind of got a little pushy with gateway today but no avail... I mean, I understand that you don't officially support 64bit, but this is clearly a very specific identifiable and fixable problem, and the only thing that needs to get fixed in order for people who want to take the initiative to have a working 64 bit notebook.

alright, enough of the rant... hopefully someone will figure this out soon... anyone flash their bios yet? make it less limited than choosing boot order? is there an available flash?

 

I can't even get my laptop to go into standby in 64. It either reboots or doesn't come back.

 

Same with the sound, doesnt work till brought from standby.... does anyone know off hand or can tell me how / which items are powered down and in what order...

 

does the card reader work in x64 edition...

 

havent tried it yet

 

Im away from my house for a few days. As soon as I get back I will try it.

 

Guys give me a update on what drivers do work and which ones don't work. I will host them on the my website! Much appreciated.

 

My experience, everything from alksolo's list works in 64bit... just not the sound at the end.


This soundcard is really a weak link... I tried an install of suse64bit, and ran up against the brick wall of the soundcard once again.

still hoping someone figures this out so we have some way of getting a working 64bit system out of this thing

 

Ok my drivers site has been updated with the drivers that seem to be working. Thanks again for everyones help including alksolo!

Hi guys I only ask so i can know this before I buy it... Is there a issue with card reader drivers

 

not in 32bit... works like a charm...
64bit, we haven't gotten it working yet, but I think it's probably not far off.
It's a great laptop, way more power than it should have for the money... these 64bit issues will probably get resolved soon. Particularly if MS starts leaning hard on companies for vista.

just my thoughts.

 

I just plugged in my SD card I just bought and it worked with no drivers needed to install, I am guess there is no need for drivers.

Does anyone else have SM Bus Controller in their Device Manager that isn't installed?

 

optendo, you're right... my cf card was recognized as a mass storage usb device. all good over here, looks like we've been sweating this for nothing...

 

Does anyone else have SM Bus Controller in their Device Manager that isn't installed?

 

Go to ATI's site and download that controller from them and you'll be good to go.

 

Thanks Pulp, I used the ones from the ati motherboard section. They seem to install just fine for me.

Pulp, did you install the whole driver package from ati's site or just manually install the one for the SM Bus Controller via device manager?

I added the drivers I used to my page!
http://blackimperial.com/home/?page_id=13

 

I installed just the one. I'm a bit ambivalent about the whole driver package since the 7510GX doesn't use IGP (though that IGP may be responsible for the 128MB of HyperMemory).

 

thanks for all the drivers, i just the 7510 and soon i will have a nice review up but i want to try out windows64 before i do the review. I havent seen any but does anyone know where i can get a vid. driver? on the black imperial site it says modded cat drivers but i wasnt for sure if that worked for 64bit or not. Thanks for all the help.

Edit: Also a sound driver if anyone has found one that works.

 

optendo, my question is should i download ALL the drivers from your site? whats the difference between downloading the regular ones and the 64bit ones? should i download the 64bit ones?

 

If you dont have a 64 bit operating system, i.e. xp pro x64 or server 2003 x64 then you dont need to bother downloading the 64 bit drivers.

 

Everything runs great except for the sound. THe sound just wont initialize on boot up, BUT if you goto standby then back VIOLA the sound is back... Im not well educated on what happens for the suspend feature but its definetly an interesting reoccurable problem... As for ati's main drivers they work great with the notebook with no issues, i can use the card reader w/ out drivers... Just a nice note i ran doom 3 all maxed out at 1024x768 with no slow downs... then i dropped the rez to 800x600 and it was even sicker... GOd bless 64 and Gateway they have a real winner!

 

Doom 3 maxed out at 1024x768? Really?

I get it playable at 800x600 medium, and it's completely unplayable at 1024x768.

How'd you manage that?

 

Ive gotten all the drivers working for my 7510gx. However, dvd playback does not work. I receive an error.

 

got dvd working, i had to download "dvd region+css free" program

 

inzanq... you're not just trying to get me hot by saying you got 'all' the drivers working... I mean, are you actually listening to sound too? (ruffles brow)

 

I got all the drivers working for none 64bit windows xp. Everything runs great for me.

 

yeah I've got that, it's a very solid box at 32 bit, and really I don't even have that many apps that are 64 bit ready, but I am kind of a freak, and I have this whole other partition that is patiently waiting to go the 64 bit route.

but I think the driver set that you put together on your site is impeccable. Thank's a million for hosting it.

 

I did some research and that SD Bus Controller seems to be the one responsible for the hypertransport and controls some other stuff.

 

Has anyone taken their 7510GX Apart yet? I really would like to upgrade the memory to 2gb instead of 1.5...I took all the screws out today, and yet couldn't get it apart...anyone have an idea?

 

I image the notebook is built just like the emachines 68xx and gateway 74xx. Check this site out http://emachines.fizi.ca/guides.php.

 

In the Catalyst 5.7 control center i maxed everything out, then went back and selected app control for all available items. In doom im running 1024x768 Ultra, w/ out AA, I run 800x600 Ultra w/ 4x AA no problems 8x slows just a tad.... I have to say gateway outdid themselves on this notebook. BTW has anyone come close to figuring out the audio driver situation. Does anyone who is running x64 and has working bootable sound (ie i measn from bootup your sound works, not the standby restart) have a certain way they installed the drivers? ANy particular order, or slight variation on audio drivers... Maybe we could put our heads together and get someone to do something about this.

Timbo

 

I have yet to install x64 so I haven't even bothered with the sound problem. sorry

 

How the hell did you do that? The X600 is capable but not THAT capable. Did you overclock the crap out of it?
