no dice.

disabling the integrated disables/breaks both gpus (you get stuck at 640x480 and CCC thinks you screwed up installing the drivers)


how do you manually install? I haven't tried that yet

Oh yeah theres no way i trust the auto installers to be able to do this.

When you run the installer that you download. It'll put a bunch of files into an C:/amd/catalyst folder. Open device manager and double click the vga adapter/radeon/whatever it says that isnt the integrated. Go to the drivers tab and click update driver.
Click "Browse..." then "Let me pick..." then "have disk" then browse for that catalyst folder. CLick okay and you should be able to install it that way.

The fact that it defaults to 640x480 and no drivers is GOOD thing. Thats whats meant to happen when you have the standard vga driver installed. I wouldn't even listen to what CCC has to say. Just install the catalyst over it using the manual method.

still don't have any inf files in that folder either.

also, it just says it's already up to date when I pick that folder too

[jamus28]

Oh hmm I'm used to nvidia. I didn't realize that the installer is only a proxy that downloads the drivers for your system. Try googling for manual install of catalyst drivers. There should be a way to extract or get the full inf version.

[MagusDraco]

yeah I'm trying to figure that out but no luck.


It seems like it won't download the infs unless your card supports the infs or something.

[MagusDraco]

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



they don't exist.

anywhere.

they just don't exist.


we'd have to get someone who had a 5650 without switchable or something and find the infs from them.


or we'll just have to wait for ati to support intel switchable graphics (or for HP to update the drivers)


at least 10.3's a good set. better than 10.4 and 10.5

where's amd gpu tool. I wanna see if it works with CCC 10.6

when installing using have disk, navigate to
C:\ATI\Support\10-6_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF

Haha don't give up so easily magus. I know this can be done. I'll definitely get it when I actually have this friggin laptop on my desk.

[MagusDraco]

oh crap the full version of that package.


thanks.


*tried amd gpu clock tool 9.26.blah* crashed the crap outta everything

[MagusDraco]

oh wow. it might actually be upgradeable.

the main installation file finds it this time.

[MagusDraco]

*tries have disk, gets a black screen that he had to hard shutdown from and then boot up with the last known good configuration*

...

right then.

that didn't work.


*just uses the executable*


edit: whelp that didn't work. same result.

*disables IGP, goes from there*
