Bill Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 What games are you trying to run? (some might never run on your card) Also, are you sure you are installing the drivers correctly? http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=33 There is the topic on how to install drivers, including a dvix video. The driver and INF link in my sig should work just fine for you. You have to replace the INF in the driver with the moddified INF for it to work.

Bill Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Have you guys tried using the add resolution button in the screen resolutions and refresh rates menu? Also what screen resolutions do your laptops have? (hmm 1280x854) If it all works fine on an external screen then a resolution or EDID fix should be all that is needed. Please go run NERD while I search for threads with the same problem. I have seen this one before somewhere.... Just run NERD on a working driver and attach the logfile here for us to look at. Edit: Here is the thread http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=6696 When you guys are in the screen resolutions and refresh rates menu, make sure to uncheck the checkbox that says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" You should be able to select 1280x854 at 54 Hz. As for games you guys are gonna be in trouble, you will need some sort of refresh rate override or hack the game to run at a certain resolution and refresh rate. I would sugget 640x427 @54 Hz or the full 1280x854. Last but not least. Raul Vilchez, I edited your system info into your sig, looks much better now as you had one big column on the left side. (also consolidated some stuff) If you guys list the games you plan on playing I can give you some tips on how to get those working right, once we get your desktop resolution straightened out.

Guest Guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look at your suggestions and come back with the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well the 'hide modes' button did the trick and I am now able to change the screen rez (you were correct about the max rez you stated earlier) I'm atually trying to run Eve, but its not as simple as that. Eve currently runs with my Gateway driver but a recent Eve patch changed the font rendering engine (or something like that) and now all the text is messed up, a search of the Eve forums only turned up an 'update your driver' reply and then a link to this web site from another poster when laptop graphics drivers were mentioned. The bad news is that, with the newer drivers loaded the game no longer gets as far as character select (which is where is usually goes full screen) but the good news is that it has fixed the font problem. I've run that tool you mentioned and, just in case its still relevant, here are the files it created LaptopVideo2Go_LogFile.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Get the same problem even if I go as far back as 72.14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
