Universal Driver set for all Switchable (Intel/ATI) Graphics!

Hi, I have an HP laptop with switchable graphics (the graphics are Intel HD and ATI 5650, the model of the laptop is DV6 3016sl). I have installed sp50640.exe, that is the latest HP official ATI and Intel HD driver. I'd like to install a more recent one, but also using the catalyst 12.1 that is in the first page of this thread, I cannot manage to install it. In the instructions it is said to install it on top of the official driver. I have the official driver, but when I launch the 12.1 setup (downloaded from the link in the first page, it is 12-1_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe) , it says that everything is up to date, and I cannot put the check to install the newer versions of the driver and the Catalyst... How can I install?
Thanks!
EDIT: excuse me, I posted in the wrong thread...

 

CONGRATULATION Leashcat for leshcatlabs.org

Catalyst 12.4 WHQL UnifL is out

 

After installing this new 12.4 driver i had a lot of problems. catalyst control center did not open, during clean process there where a lot of errors...

anyone could install this package on a z21 without problems?

 

I didn't have any problems; I just followed the quick start guide and everything seems to be working except for automatic brightness.

 

I, too, lost my CCC. Otherwise there was no drama.

 

12.4 worked perfectly for me.

 

There' already a new release on leshcats site - 12.x (most likely a leaked 12.5 beta).

Maybe your CCC issues will be solved by that?
The auto-brightness issues might get solved by the intel 2712 driver, had used them in 12.2 where they worked great.
Can't test right now as I'm away from my PMD.

 

Catalyst 12.x Apr18 UnifL - Intel HD Graphics ( ver. 8.15.10.2712 )- install with no issues on my Z2, working flawless till now....


Thanks Leshcat

 

Loaded 12.x, two items:

1) Did not continue automatically with the install after YUC boot.
2) CCC still MIA.

 

the missing CCC issue can be fixed by doing the following:

go to the folder where you extracted the driver (by default C:\AMD\...; don't know about Leshcat drivers though) and go to \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Core-Static and scroll down until you find ccc-core-static.msi. right-click on this file and select "Repair" in the context menu. it usually takes 1 min. and then, CCC should work again.

 

^Yup, that worked.

Thx!

 

Just checking to see if anyone has sucessfully installed these drivers on Wndows 8? I have tried twice in the past without luck. Even the stock Sony drivers were a no go.

 

^ gooooogle Intel HD graphics 15.28 beta!

 

Thanks for the info on the Intel drivers! If we were to install this driver and then the ATI portion of lescats, would the PMD work as normal?

Thanks!

 

^ That is apparently of no use, currently, there are no compatible drivers available directly from Intel or AMD that enable the switchable graphics feature on Windows 8!
If ur aware of such driver, please let us know.

 

Thank you for that hint! New driver update now is running without problems

 

With leshcat's newest driver it isn't working anymore for me. Have to shut down every time I want to unplug.

Does it work for you?

 

Thank you very much for that great tip! but on my machine i´m not able to uninstall the older version. got problems with vbscript - i´ve registered the vbscript.dll manually. any ideas about that?

*EDIT* Found a package with that drivers to install manually through the device manager - is it ok to do this on that way? Can´t deinstall the older ones, there is also a problem with the vbscripting host.

 

^
@tonyp0
no issues here!

@SirRobin
Disconnect all USB 2&3 before uninstalling and installing of this drivers.
what was ur old drivers / and did u update the BIOS first?

 

Everything was disconnected, my older driver was 2.1.28.0. Updating Firmware without a problem. No chance to uninstall or reinstall, got this f**** vbscript error. Think the only way für me is to manual update the drivers through device manager.

 

I updated from the latest Sony release, everything works fine, except:
- I can't find the Catalyst Control Center although I checked everything in the installer
- When playing video in SPEED mode (AMD Radeon activated) the video doesn't appear in WMP (Windows Media Player), but the WMP window sized properly (when I open a HD video, then the window becomes big)

 

^
- CCC issue is mentioned in FAQ
- probable cause ur system has some older drivers!

 

it's a problem with Catalyst 12.4. also, i had green flash (YouTube, for example) videos with those drivers. roll back to the older ones that used to work.

 

Which driver works? I only tried the latest driver on the first post, never tried the older one.

 

i installed 12.4 and had video playback issues, so i uninstalled them and went back to SONY drivers. i've read on Guru3D that Catalyst 12.1 does not the video playback issues.

 

Hi guys,

I'm from the UK and just recently got a SE VPCSE2C5E with ATI 6630m+ Intel3000.

I also bought a 24" 1920x1200 monitor to use in portrait and reading the SE owers thread it seems both are not compatible with my laptop?! Would I be able to use the external monitor in portrait mode with these drivers and if so would the resolution be supported?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Guy

 

green screen occur when i am watching youtube.
it happens when i change the gpu to high performance one manually
but when i change back to the inte HD graphic ,the problem disappear.
my laptop is vpccb46fg with i5 and 6630M

 

I already sent a mail to leshcat that the new drivers by Sony for the new PMD (see here) fixes the "backlight stays off after returning from sleep" bug with the 2712 Intel drivers.

He will analyze it and hopefully bring it to his driver package

 

I'm using Leshcat 12.3 (his website is down, can't get 12.4) and I'm unable to change the voltage on my 6630m?

I'm on a Sony Vaio SE.

Is there something I need to do to enable voltage changing? I'm using MSI Afterburner and have the advanced overclocking enabled (running 650/900 on stock voltage).

Thanks

 

overvolting is disabled by AMD in Catalyst 11.10 and newer drivers. if you want that feature, you should use Catalyst 11.9 or older drivers. however, there seems to be a workaround which might work for our laptops as well. see this thread.

 

Thanks!

Has anyone mirrored 12.4? No idea when Leshcats site will be back up

 

Is there any way to use the ATI gpu when connected an external vga monitor on the dock with this new sony driver? as far as i know the intel hd part is used when using 2 monitors...

 

Did you try in CCC under Performance> Allow additional monitors settings?

Cheers,
Miki

 

Anyone else suffer from green videos on youtube with leshcat drivers? On ATI switch, intel switch works fine.

 

Leshcat has an updated drivers Catalyst 12.6 WHQL.
check it out on his new dot net.
I've updated the the 1st post as well.

 

^The general install went OK but I lost my CCC again. I've tried a variety of recommended techniques (FAQ, this site, etc) to get it back, but it just won't fire. The hourglass spins a bit but that's it. The components don't even show up in Task Manager.

(
If I do a repair using the .NET 4 version of ccc-core-static app, I then get a dialog box on starting CCC that says:

Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.
There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.
)

 

BTW, what is the newest official driver version for the Z21 PMD?

 

Hey,

So I'm out on the road until next week without my PMD. However, during my flight I was recommended to try this with the PMD and Z2/Z3.

about lucidlogix

It supposed to offload stuff to the HD 4000 giving more calculation power to the dGPU.

Kinda sounds like snake oil to me. But who knows, maybe it will help with framerates.

Anyone want to give it a shot before I get back?

 

Catalyst 12.6 UnifL UP2 with AMD OverDrive activatd, Z2

 

Installed these and got a couple of issues. I have a SE15" with 6630M and with the 12.6 drivers youtube vids just show as green, The dimming seems to be messed up as well. Resets to minimum.

 

Leshcat have nice drivers, but in sony´s vaio doesn´t work very well. In my vpcse15 i just use the amd overdrive in add of original drivers.

 

BTW, I was rebuilding my VPCZ2190X today and just decided to try the drivers from the SVZ131190X and they went in without a hitch.

 

Went with the Z3 drivers on my Z2 and it has been working great.

 

Any chance the Z3 drivers would work on the SE2 15"?

 

Hi

Should I go with the latest Z2 ATI drivers or go with the SVZ ATI drivers?

thanks

 

A new update from Leshcat with ATi Graphic Driver (ver. 9.000 06/12/2012)/Intel HD Graphics ( ver. 15.28.0.64.2792 ), works on Z2 sofar...

 

Wonderful Will try them asap

 

So what are the impressions of this new version on 2011er Z Series? Everything is fine?

 

I will get to my PMD next week (I hope), I'm currently traveling with only the notebook

 

There is a new update Catalyst 12.7, I've no issues with 12.x Jun12.
