    As many of you may know, Sony likes to lock the video drivers on its computers. I read somewhere that you can install a raw driver and it will work. Whenever I try to update through ATI, it says my video card isn't supported.

    I currently have a SR-490 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 under the hood.

    Anyone know of a way to update my video driver?
