Guest Jorlin Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I am using the 56.82 + 20.32 inf on my laptop (see below). When it is supposed to resume from standby the laptop just hangs. There is no harddrive activity and the screen does not turn on. I do not encounter this problem with the retail drivers that came with the laptop (36.38). I have also tried the combination previously described here: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....findpost&p=3494 Can anybody help me? I need those drivers to play farcry...

ministeve Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Beside black bar, all 5x.xx I've tried recently (with modded infs) do not allow safe return from stand by. There is some cpu and disk activity for a few seconds, then everything freezes. I have not tried the original inf with 56.63, tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jorlin Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Ok! I am now using the 56.63 drivers with the original inf and it works flawlessly. Standby works as it should. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty1 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Speaking about resuming from standby, what's the correct way to resume from standby on a Dell Inspiron 8200? Do you just open the screen or do you have to hit some key or buttons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Doesn't matter on my TS, don't know if there is some special procedure on DELLs :) , but rather not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Doesn't matter on my TS, don't know if there is some special procedure on DELLs :) , but rather not. Heh... To be honest.. I am doing it correctly as I have close lid disabled so I have to do the manual standby to get it to goto sleep which seems to act like if the machine is off but to resume, I hit the power button and the power comes back on but the screen never does.

Maybe it's worth a try with your doomed EDID problem. 56.63/NVTS solves the standby problem, but the black bar is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 ministeve have you tried the NVCT.inf which is also Toshiba sometimes and also has 420Go inlcuded (though i didn't checked/compared the setting with NVTS.INF for your GPU section) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministeve Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 ministeve have you tried the NVCT.inf I tried that in the first place. The system does not find a section for my card. Comparing the [NVIDIA.Mfg]: NVCT.inf: %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0174.1% = nv4_NV17_BTR81, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0174&SUBSYS_FF001179 %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0175.1% = nv4_NV17, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0175&SUBSYS_001214C0 %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0175.2% = nv4_NV17_BTS88, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0175&SUBSYS_FF001179 %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0177.1% = nv4_NV17_BTR80, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0177&SUBSYS_FF001179 NVTS.inf: %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0174.1% = nv4_NV17, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0174&SUBSYS_00011179 %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0175.1% = nv4_NV17, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0175&SUBSYS_00011179 %NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0177.1% = nv4_NV17, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0177&SUBSYS_00011179 my subsys is 00011179, I think. At least, installation has always recommended a section for that subsys, when more than one was available for device 0175---as in 11.65 inf. (I admit I fail to understand the underlying algorithm that controls all this--- how can the installation procedure know my subsys is 00011179 if i cannot find it myself manually using AIDA? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 (edited) the SUBSYS can be found in the registry, where XP/2K stores the value after recognizing it during initial (first) setup of XP: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Settings\Video or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet000\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0XXX&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX&REV_XX or just use the device Manager with the reg file i provided somewhere in the furom which unhides the "DETAILS" tab. ___ edit: new Utilities item: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=646 Edited April 10, 2004 by dontknow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministeve Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 the SUBSYS can be found in the registry, where XP/2K stores the value after recognizing it during initial (first) setup of XP:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Settings\Video not here orHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet000\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0XXX&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX&REV_XX yes! thanks a lot dontknow. In fact it's PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0175&SUBSYS_00011179&REV_A3 or just use the device Manager with the reg file i provided somewhere in the furom which unhides the "DETAILS" tab. I'll try this again. Last time I tried it did not work Another thing I have never understood is why GeForce4 420 Go Toshiba 32Mb is listed as 0175, whereas in many infs GeForce4 420 Go 32Mb is actually 0176.

Guest PKY Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Did you try the new 60.xx drivers? They work for me an fixed my safe return from sleep/ standby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®®® Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 thanks dontknow but your information was correct; the tweak should work for 2k: http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1175/ there must be something wrong with my system, nothing seems to work i remembered that 2K needs a different header in reg files than XP, i corrected the Utilities thread some hours ago, but probably you haven't seen it yet: Replace the first line of the reg file with: REGEDIT4 instaed of the "Windows Registry Editor 5.00" This should fix it....... or just add the DEV_MNGR_Deatils item manually to the Registry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministeve Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 or just add the DEV_MNGR_Deatils item manually to the Registry I added it manually; pse find attached a tiny archive with my keys exported. Are they correct? Maybe I did not find the right place where to look for the "Details" tab... just run out of ideas. tweak.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 the next try: goto: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment add string: Devmgr_show_details value: 1 next step: WIN+R (RUN): devmgmt.msc select your Graphics adapter, doubleclick on GF2 420go, there you see TABS: GENERAL | DRIVER | DETAILS | RESSOURCES etc. hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
