®®® Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 This driver is now officially released by NVIDIA as a MCE and mobile Driver with a changelog. Promising.... I'll update the thread with new info in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 The file @ NV FTP is incomplete :P , but not broken :) The INF :) and international files are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'm downloading the driver now... on the paper it seems to be the best option for recent cards... 6x00 and 7x00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Fabrice, did you manage to receive a correct packed file from NV FTP? The filedate is still 19.06.2006 aka hasn't changed since 08th of July and that's the last time i tried to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessy Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I´m afraid NVIDIA has changed there Installation Mode... No visible INF File anymore? But perhaps it´s possible to generate a special INF-File for the new 91.33 Driver and Mobile GPU´s with the special Settings for Notebooks especially for Dualview with a second Display like the Settings in the 83.40 Mobile Driver from NVIDIA. I´m using this Driver on my Notebook, because all other INF-Files with all other Driver-Versions have got big Problems with DUAL-View in docked Modus and single View in undocked Modus. There don´t recognise the second Display or switch the primary Display to the second Display. The Desktop get garbaged, because buildin Display has other resolution as the external Panel. Because of that I´ve patched the original INF-File in 83.40 for my own with the Vendor-ID of my GPU. Does anybody know what are the Differences in the INF-File from NVIDIA in the 83.40 Mobile and the one served on this Site? Greetings from Greven (Germany)...

Fabrice Roux Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Fabrice, did you manage to receive a correct packed file from NV FTP? The filedate is still 19.06.2006 aka hasn't changed since 08th of July and that's the last time i tried to download. The one that I downloaded is the classic EXE installer... no corruption or whatsoever... but I'm not sure we are talking about the same file.

®®® Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 You can effortless extract the .EXE with 7Zip for example. No INF inside and no international files even though the filename pretends to be international :) Maybe a look in hte data.cab will shed some light on this weird driver (first occurence since 200 or 300 drivers i've analyzed that the INF is missing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Here is what is in the driver EXE... Note that neither the latest WinRAR or 7-Zip appear to open the CAB file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 the .CABs can be opened with i6comp or WinPack 2.31 (the link for this tool is in the SU area... the thread where Pieter is describing his WLAN modding story) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 There you go... the nVidia installer crap located inside data1.cab... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Getting mysterious now. I've never seen *.ips files in NV drivers and elsewhere, at least i cant remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The .ips files also appear in other CABs that I have (not just NV Cabs) It must be part of language support for setup.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Oh that makes sense, so these are the InstallShield localization files for the setup procedure... while the actual NV localization files and the INF have disappeared in this peticular driver release :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 i will search the web to find the file that nvidia hides the ide's in it. i will keep in touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Lead_Factor Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 UPDATED DRIVER Looks like a patch was released on July 18th "Updated kit to fix some installation issues reported by end users." Just finished downloading it and it has the INF and everything this time around :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks for the headups. Downloading... will repack our driver in a while even though it's fairly complete and usable out of the box with Pieter's modded INF. Glad they care about enthusiast mobile endusers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0wl Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Why there isn't enhancer link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Will add it while updating the first post with new info, but first must finishing packing and reuploading :) ... More than 10 drivers repacked with new files and/or OEM INFs... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 First time ever that NVIDIA officially released a mobile driver from DELL :) A binary compare results in: identical 100%. No need to reupload. This is really promising. The last legendary driver concerning speed, stability and mobile features was 44.68 from DELL also, is this the successor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well I doubt that Dell is really modifing the source code of the drivers... they used one build that came right from nVidia... and tweaked the INF at best. The mother of ForceWare is nVidia. :) *opening the toolbox*Well it looks like this is the candidate for Fabricication. But first thing first... I need to reactivate the CAPTCHA on my blog.

®®® Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 But it's the same INF :) That's what's astonishing. No nv4_disp.inf this time. _All_ official NV drivers come with an nv4_disp.inf or some kind of derivate, but _not_ the 4digit OEM nvXX.INF It like you buy an Rolls Royce and Emily is missing, but a BMW badge instead on your engine hood. Dell is not modifiying the source code, they modifiy the INF from an adjusted driver they got from NVIDIA, that'S correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Roux Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 It's logical to see one manufacturer use the INF settings from it's biggest mobile graphic chip integrator. Not so far ago... In my StereoVision days... I used the graphic driver and stereo drivers from Elsa. :) I still have a 19" CRT that allows me to see in 3D at my parents. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
