Support and bug report

 

Very interesting! I'll check it out tomorrow!

 

I installed Preview Catalyst 12.1 + Intel 2559 package and I noticed problems with automatic screen backlight adjustment. It's not dynamical, I would say it's rather jump from one setting to another.

To resolve this problem I suggest to reinstall Intel's drivers. In my case that helped.

 

Can you give us an installation step-by-step - did you a clean install with deinstallation of older drivers first or an update installation?

 

Especially for this drivers I've made full graphic drivers deinstallation (manager + DriversSweeper) and then installed this drivers package. Unfortunately, as I said before, I had to reinstall Intel's drivers.
So far everything works flawless and without problems.

 

when you say you "had to reinstall Intel's drivers", to which version of Intel's drivers are you referring exactly?

 

I'm referring to Intel's 2559 drivers. In package you can find 2559, but in my case it cause strange screen backlight adjumstment, so I reinstalled then with standalone modded 2559.

BTW On Preview Catalyst 12.1 in SPEED mode, YouTube player seems to not working properly. (green screen after click play button)

 

thanks!
another question: if you're overclocking your GPU, can you change the core voltage with the new drivers? apparently, with 11.10 and later drivers, the ability to tweak the GPU voltage was removed. i was wondering if you have tried that?

 

Which standalone intel driver do you mean exactly?

 

So, I went ahed with the 11.12, just upgrade, and everything works. Dissappeared Intel settings from context menu, but it can be accessed thru Screen resolution settings of windows

 

I haven't tried, because currently graphic power is enough for me
But if you could recommend good program to overclock Radeon in notebook then I could try

From Intel's support site + modded .inf file.

 

Thank you - the modded .inf file from which package exactly? sorry, i´m not sure about that...

 

I took .inf file from here (first post on page)

 

the only OC program working on SA/SB/SC is (was?) Sapphire TRiXX, and that's what i'm currently using.

 

I've got this program, but I can't change GPU voltage.

 

i see, thanks.
too bad though. i think i'm stuck using older drivers then...

 

Installed the driver on my machine.

First, in the device manager the ATI Radeon is recognized as HD6700 - not as HD 6650 as before

Second, there was one Warning true the setup, i think this is from the missing WHQL signature?

Third, missing settings part for intel on context menu - maybe it´s possible to fix this through registry?

Thanks for the work!

 

any issues with HDMI connection? Is it working ok (both Intel and ATI)?

 

can´t try this at the moment.

I´ve checked switching from external do internal display, brightness, performance in SWTOR, open gl capability...

 

The context menu issue is more logisch in leshcat solution )

 

Both work for me.

 

any performance increase?

 

^ I don't game, so I wouldn't notice that sort of thing.

However, I can say that the video on the PMD VGA port has sharpened up noticeably.

 

What do you mean with that?

I can only reach the ATI settings through context menu, not the intel part. Maybe this is caused as i installed the driver as update over the current one?

 

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try over weekend.

 

SirRobin
make sure u have this registry key to re-enable the intel options in context menu:

or reinstall the graphics drivers from intel.

 

wait, you can install drivers separately? I thought it's a combo driver.

 

I updated my system with the 11.21 drivers and am definitely seeing an improvement.
Strangely enough with the Sony drivers my system would always want to switch to the Intel card when I connected to the PMD with a monitor attached. Now it is behaving properly.
I also seem to see more accurate colors and a sharper image on my Samsung HMDI connected display, but that might just be purely subjective as I can obviously not compare it side to side.

 

Did you install it as update or first uninstall the older ones?

 

As an update.

 

Thank you! Can you reach both the intel and ati settings through desktop kontext menu? before the upgrade there was ati settings and intel settings as separate menu entries, after update the intel part is gone?

 

I´ve switched back to the driver shown in my signature, done this by uninstallation the newer ones, run drive sweeper, reboot and installation.

There is one point i´m not sure, in the CC the driver version is shown as 11.12 UnFL Version, is this not the newer one?

Is this the exact driver version from the sony package?

 

I installed the Leshcat 12.1 drivers and the Intel control panel came back on the right-mouse click context menu.

 

And no problems with automatic brightness control?

 

Works fine, although I now have the "Test Mode" watermark on my screens.(!)

 

PHP:

Expected, due to the way it's implemented. It's turned off the driver signing requirement for Windows. As such, I'll disagree with the claim that it "...will enable installation of modified files* on x64 without affecting performance or exposing itself" (the latter part), considering that the whole point is to open a security hole that it can use itself. Especially since the listed claims aren't true (signed drivers don't give Microsoft any money, only the certificate providers - WHQL is a different matter, but non-WHQL official drivers are readily available).

In any case, that's the tradeoff. Allow for unsigned drivers so that you can use third-party packages like leshcat, or wait for officially signed drivers.

 

You can easily remove the watermark.

 

I went through a command-line procedure but when I rebooted later, the drivers seem to have been affected.

I think there's some registry mechanism, but haven't had time to look for it. Do you have a link?

 

Did u select whether you want to remove watermark during DSE installation?

 

Nope, missed that one!!!

Not a big issue. I'll remember that on the next upgrade.

Thx!

 

We may wait forever though! ....$ony for years has supplied ready to use machines with no sign of after sale drivers updates, this issue is the same as it was since 2000.

 

true, come to think of it, driver from SirRobin's signature is still not available at Sony. Crazy!

 

I would really like to hear from any gamers out there that have updated these new drivers. Does it now run like a 6630/6650 should? Modern Warfare 3, BF3, Skyrim and SFIV.

Please post results or increased performance.

Huge thanks!

 

I'll test out Skyrim tomorrow; I'll have some free time then.

 

Thanks!

I am hoping for good results.

 

I have lost right click context menu again! Definitely has something to do with plugging in HDMI (or messing around with multiple monitors). I have this key in registry, however no context menu options. Reinstalled GPU drivers for second time. Any way to resolve this for good?


Cheers,
Miki

 

SirRobin,

this is what I have in CCC with your drivers installed


Cheers,
Miki

 

Thank you! I´m very unhappy that sony didn´t release the driver through the official vaio update right now!

 

The driver for the Z23 series is the new one, I believe.

 

Looking forward to this.

Overall, is there any downside to updating to these newer universal drivers?
