    Hi, guys I just modified the GMA Driver which support OpenGL and D3D and running at Vaio P native Resolution @ 1600X768 60hz.

    Pro: Running Red Alert 1, Worms World Party, GTA 2 (no issues)
    Cons: Unable to Change Brightness

    This File is just for Windows XP
    (go to System, device manager, Display, GMA 500, drivers, update driver, Install (advance), Dont Search i chooose, Have disk, Browse, "where u extract the driver", ok and restart ur com!)

    File download
    GMA500_XP(netbook Gaming Driver).rar

    Hope it Helps~ :s12:

    Btw Overclocking the Vaio P using SetFSB use the Freeware here
    Set Clock Gen to "ICS9UMS9610BL", Get FSB then Adjust ur FSB and click Set FSB.
    Overclock Speed Suggested Below.
    Z520(1.33) to (1.60)ghz No issue
    Z530(1.60) to (1.80)ghz No issue
    Z540(1.86) to (2.20)ghz No issue

    You can use the same driver as any other Intel Atom Z-series. They all use the Intel GMA500.

    THank you so much for trying to resolve this issue. However, I am having trouble installing it properly. I was wondering if you can elaborate on the install process; I think you skipped a few steps: "update driver, Install (advance), Dont Search i chooose, Have disk"

    Thanks for all of your help!
