    I know you prolly don't have much info and we are lucky to get this, but you wouldn't happen to know what version they are working on would you?

    im having a heck of a time with these dang normal 8.12 drivers. every time it starts the display is din i have to make it bright. and it is sometimes loosing the high wuxga res i have to change it back..

    i modded the new hotfix driver and so far imo its much better than the old one. at least for me so far that one starts up and is working okay and no sleep issues

    wipe wipe wipe..

    I wonder if that has to do with crossfire. I only have a single card and it....wipe, wipe, wipe...and the 8.12 mobility modded drivers work just fine. Not a lick of trouble....

    Luthi.. I also modded these drivers. I'll post a new download in the 8.12 mod forum. Fixed sleep issues and shutdown issues. Not sure where those came from, but I recently got them as well. These slightly increased my 3dmark. Only problem, I dont have direct3d checkbox anymore.

    it's an issue with the Device ID, and subsys ID - they show as the 3870x2 because of that.. evidentally they both share that until the Mobility drivers are updated by ATI to reflect the revisions of the M88 cards.
