Guest FiNAS Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hi board, I have an asus L5D with an 5650go 64mb ram. The asus drivers that ship with it are the 56.65. they work ok. video is ok. when trying to install any new version the driver will only work some times!!! sometimes it boot's to windows, other times it doesn't boot the gui. when it does boot the gui, video performance is choppy!! also, it eats battery life!!! using the shipped driver everything works fine!!! any ideas?

Bill Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 What other drivers did you try? You should try the 65.73 or some 66.xx drivers. Some drivers are just wack, if you tried a bad one that could happen. If your not sure weather a driver is safe or not just ask one of us before you install it.

Guest FiNAS Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi, I have tried almost all 66.x drivers and the 61.77. with them, sometimes I can reach windows logon panel, but most of the times I will only see a black screen. when it does log on, video performance playing videos is really poor, about 15fps. if I use the bundled asus drivers, the notebook will allways boot to windows, and video performance is normal : no loss of frames. I belive that I need some custom .ini file, just like the toshibas need one too... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 It's an INF file , not an .INI. :) FiNAS, you could try to copy the settings the INF from 56.65 into Pieter's mobile INF for some newer driver. The section which is important is [softwareDeviceSettings], which would be HKR,, InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, nv4_disp HKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, VPEENABLE, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, Mobile, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, UseHWSelectedDevice, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainDevs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainTVStandard, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DualViewMobile, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DevSwitchSuppressMask, %REG_DWORD%, 5 HKR,, MapOSD3ToNV, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, PanScanSelection, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, UseBestResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, HotKeyUseOSResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, SoftEDIDs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, OverlayMode3, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, ModesetBlankDelay, %REG_DWORD%, 150 HKR,, PowerSaverHsyncOn, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, "NVZORAN.laststdSDTV", %REG_DWORD%, 0x03 HKR,, "NVZORAN.standard", %REG_DWORD%, 0x03 HKR,, "NVZORAN.connector", %REG_DWORD%, 0x00 for %NVIDIA_NV31.DEV_031B.2% = nv4_L5D, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_031B&SUBSYS_18521043 If you have %NVIDIA_NV31.DEV_031B.3% = nv4_L5DG, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_031B&SUBSYS_17711043 you would need HKR,, InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, nv4_disp HKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, VPEENABLE, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, Mobile, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, UseHWSelectedDevice, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainDevs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainTVStandard, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DualViewMobile, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DevSwitchSuppressMask, %REG_DWORD%, 5 HKR,, MapOSD3ToNV, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, PanScanSelection, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, UseBestResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, HotKeyUseOSResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, SoftEDIDs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, OverlayMode3, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, ModesetBlankDelay, %REG_DWORD%, 150 HKR,, PowerSaverHsyncOn, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, "NVZORAN.connector", %REG_DWORD%, 2 HKR,, PowerMizerDefault, %REG_DWORD%, 2 HKR,, PowerMizerSelected, %REG_DWORD%, 2 HKR,, PowerMizerDefaultAC, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, PowerMizerSelectedAC, %REG_DWORD%, 1 They are both FX Go5650 GPUs , so you need to figure your subsys HERE or HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FiNAS Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Wow!!! thanks alot dontknow!!!! It worked great!!! better than that, I now know how to make my own inf. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 :) Great news in the evening! OK FiNAS, here comes the hard part for you now. We often have reports of "BlackScreens" (or green screens OR white screens) on Logon, and nobody ever was able to narrow down which setting in the INF is responsible for that. HERE is one example. You would do us a very big favour if you could test this for us. We can help you there, if you don't know how to narrow down. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FiNAS Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Sure I can help out! tell me how? In the weanwhile I'm going to read the other thread you pointed out.. btw: no black, green or white screens here! I did have a black screen before, but only sometimes, like 80% of all the boot's would give me a black screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 First it would be helpful for us if we know what SUBSYS you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®®® Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 now open one INF of a driver you tried where you had problems. Have a closer look at the [softwareDeviceSettings] section and compare it with the working one HKR,, InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, nv4_dispHKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, VPEENABLE, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, Mobile, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, UseHWSelectedDevice, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainDevs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, RMMaintainTVStandard, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DualViewMobile, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, DevSwitchSuppressMask, %REG_DWORD%, 5 HKR,, MapOSD3ToNV, %REG_DWORD%, 3 HKR,, PanScanSelection, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, UseBestResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, HotKeyUseOSResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, SoftEDIDs, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, OverlayMode3, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, ModesetBlankDelay, %REG_DWORD%, 150 HKR,, PowerSaverHsyncOn, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, "NVZORAN.laststdSDTV", %REG_DWORD%, 0x03 HKR,, "NVZORAN.standard", %REG_DWORD%, 0x03 HKR,, "NVZORAN.connector", %REG_DWORD%, 0x00 the red one might be candidates causing a problem, but i could also be totally wrong.That is your part: add/edit one after another all these settings to the non-working INF until it works, which means until you have no more Boot/Logon Screen problems. Most of the settings will be the same like HKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0 HKR,, VPEENABLE, %REG_DWORD%, 0 but the others you have to compare. ###### even in german i would have problems to explain the "how-to-find-the-error" process. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
