[Drivers] HP dv6-3XXX / dv7-4XXX / ENVY 17-1XXX (INTEL)

[MicGoogle]

Updated to latest ATI woot! Yep i got the blackscreen as well it didnt come back as they said like it didn't flickr so i hit the sleep button and woke it up and screen was back on. and colors were off and they recommended restarting and bam back on track.

Also just took a look at your Synaptics touchpad latest driver, i think its for the wrong version. It doesn't note any "fixes" as was shown in previous release notes, and mentions specifically the mini netbook and limits OS to the 32 bit Windows Home Premium. I don't think its meant to be installed on this version. If anyone has it let us know any new features or noticeable things..

Also i think the latest Turbo boost driver you have here is not official.., intel's release notes i found mention it as "beta driver" but download links from intel found on google are now 404 pages, and very odd Samsung is only one providing download. LOL i'll wait for a intel or hp link.

The drivers are based on hardware compatibility. So, updates for a particular hardware are not always from a single place or some OEM vendor.
I been updating from random vendors for years now, and haven't got a problem.
For example, my old Dell Inspiron 1525 has updated drivers from Toshiba, various Dell laptop lines and generations, all due to similar hardware in their products.

So I tried to update my ati switchable video drivers but it seems like they didn't install anything.. I guess because I have a hacked 10.7 installed. I was hoping this new driver would have updated intel drivers but I don't see a change in version. anyone else notice a version change?

I just updated my synaptics touchpad driver from
15.0.17.4 TO 15.0.20.0 haven't noticed any different yet but I haven't used it much. apparently the newer driver version has a older driver date which is odd.. like this

15.0.17.4 Windows 7/Vista x86/x64 and WinXP x86/64 DriverVer=05/27/2010, 15.0.17.4

15.0.20.0 Windows 7/Vista x86/x64 and WinXP x86/64 DriverVer=05/06/2010, 15.0.20.0

I personally inspected the new Synaptics TouchPad driver, version 15.0.24.0. I extracted the package and it contained x64 support when I examined it. In addition, the INF file that lists all supported device IDs included the notebooks that are currently supported in the HP consumer line.

The new 15.0.24.0 driver is dated 06/03/2010. Maybe you should give these a go.

Some updates to the first post, which I will need to explain below. Thanks Z3tor for your help.

08/18/2010

• Updated Broadcom Wireless LAN driver to version 5.100.249.2.
• Updated IDT High Definition Audio Codec version 6.10.6289.0 driver links.
• Updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology driver version 1.2.0.1002 driver links and installation information.

The Broadcom Wireless LAN driver originates from Acer, and contains mostly universal support for the Broadcom WLAN adapters currently available.

The IDT HD Audio driver's links were updated to reflect the most current package revision that HP has released thus far.

The Intel Turbo Boost Technology driver links have been updated to use the ones that HP now provides. Note that I had changed the installation information to be more accurate; I had taken a look at the provided technical release notes and realized that the supported configurations were much more than what I had mentioned. I was previously incorrect about the assumption that this could only be installed on notebooks with switchable graphics.

• Updated MediaSmart Music to version 4.1.4215 (4.1 C1) (thanks Z3tor).
• Added previous HP Wireless Assistant versions 4.0.4.2 and 4.0.6.0.

I'm just adding these previous releases of Wireless Assistant for reference, and to get rid of version 3.5 which may incompatible.
