Na hoffentlich sind die Bildfehler in Double Agent endlich weg. Ich probiers sofort aus, weiß eh kein Mensch woran es liegt, ich tippe auf das elende x64 XP...

Kann es sein das auf der ATI Seite einige Links net funzen

PS: Hat sich erledigt... auf www.ati.com geht alles, auf www.atitech.ca gehen einige dL's nicht!

Wie kann ich die Mobility Treiber laden, ohne dass ich dieses "Validation Tool" laufen lassen muss. Weil die Treiber laufen auf meinem Notebook, obwohl das "Validation Tool" etwas Anderes behauptet.

MDG

Wieso wird der Catalyst Mobility (6.11) eigentlich nicht mehr extra aufgeführt?
so wie zB bei cb

meine das mir schon mal aufgefallen. früher war es jedenfalls so.

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

Weil ich den auf die Schnelle nicht gefunden hab.

Hatte mich schon gefreut, dass man ohne irgendwelchen IDs auf die Downloadseiten linken kann, aber bei den Treibern schlaegt wieder gnadenlos dieses Anti-Leechtool zu.

IMMER unter folgendem link und ohne anti-leech

http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/

stimmt nat, der Catalyst Mobility is dort immer schwer zu finden.
hab mir jetzt auch ersma den "Catalyst Mobility_Dwnld_link" in die fav kopiert.

Eine Frage habe ich. Habe das .Net 1.1 drauf im moment. Nun lese ich das man wohl .Net 2.0 braucht. Ist das korrekt? Wenn man .Net 1.1 nutzt sieht man dann nicht alles im Treiber, habe das bei der Installations damals mal igoniert das Warnfenster ich solle .Net installieren (hatte ich ja .Net 1.1 eben). Ich meine ich Update gerne, nur will ich wissen welche .Net-Version ich brauche. Wenn natürlich 2.0 geht nehme ich diese weil der ATI Treiber das einzige ist wofür ich das .Net brauche.

Denn wenn ATI endgültig auf .Net 2.0 umsteigt will ich das natürlich nicht verpassen .

Schade ist nämlich immer noch das es Microsoft nicht schafft z.b. im neusten .Net 3.0 die vorherigen Versionen mit einzubinden, so das man nur .Net 3.0 installiert und gleichzeitig Programme die .Net 1.1 + .Net 2.0 brauchen auch laufen....

Wer BF2 mit TS und TSO spielt sollte den Cat nicht installieren, da er massive Probleme mit dem Overlay hat. (Hoch lebe mein TrueImage10).
Auch mit diversen TV und DVB Karten solls Mengen an Probs geben.

Und hier gibt es wieder die Variante mit dem alten Control-Panel:
http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&go=cat&dwn_cat_id=18

Ich installierte den neuesten Linuxtreiber für die ATI X1900XT Grafikkarte.

Meiner Meinung nach läuft er darauf instabiler, als der ältere Treiber.

Oft kommt es vor, dass statt der ATI Treiber der MESA Treiber geladen wird.
Mit dem MESA Treiber ist DVD gucken sinnlos.
Mit dem ATI Treiber strahlen die DVD Videos im neuen Glanz und lückenlos.

Ich gucke aber erst einmal, ob es nicht an der Konfiguration liegt, ein gutes wiki steht ja dem ubuntu bei.

Was hat's mit dem IGP/Southbridge Driver auf sich?
Wer sollte den installieren?

na, jemand der eine IGP und/oder Southbrigde von ATI hat
