    Hi !

    New VGA drivers 59.51 from Sager don't work with my x7200... No SLI available in the nvidia control panel...

    So I have to stay with stock 57.30...

    Do you experience this ???

    Thank you !!

    Yes the 480m driver 59.51 (I have 480m SLI)...

    But I haven't tried 460m driver or but shouldn't work, no ??

    So I'm staying with stock 57.30...
    New drivers 260.xxx from nvidia website don't work (message when installing such as "Dont find compatible hardware" or something like this...)

    Best regards !

    Try the modded inf from laptopvideo2go. They may solve your problems, it simply sounds like the Device ID for your 480ms aren't in the stock inf yet.

    LaptopVideo2go's infs tend to cover cards out there pretty well.

    Thank you very much guy !!
    But I'm sorry I'm not very good in computer...
    What does it mean modded inf ?
    Do I have to download the driver according to a "special procedure" ?

    Again sorry for my lack of knowledge...

    Best Regards !

    It's a customized (unofficial) driver that supports more cards. inf is the installation file.

    Modded inf - an edited version of the inf file that comes with the driver installer.

    Basically the inf contains information of the Device IDs of cards supported by the driver. With Nvidia, you can modify these files to enable more cards to be recognised 'out of the box' by swapping the standard inf with a modified one.

    Laptopvideo2go will link a modified inf, with a lot more mobile cards added, which you can simply use to replace the one inside the Nvidia setup directly.
    (Usually C:\Nvidia\Driver Revision)
    LaptopVideo2Go also generally links a recompressed version of the driver, with some excess stuff removed like the Phsyx installer, so the download is quicker.

    Hope that makes sense.

    It really is usually as simple as downloading the drivers, unzipping them somewhere, and then replacing the original inf file with the modified one you've downloaded...really easy :)
