i have the 5672 with the x1600 and it dosen't seem to work, anyone else have this problem?

[Arnifix]

Yup, it does not want to work on my x1600 5672. The latest Omega Drivers work though.

works fine on my 8200

[corrado85]

can somebody please be kind enough to explain how to load ati catalyst drivers (not the omega) on our acer ferrari 4005 notebook? since ati doesnt support acer manufacture. thanks!

You should be able to simply run the installer, and the driver should install... Catalyst 6.6 installs with no problems on my 8204.

I just installed this mobility catalyst 6.6 on my 8204 and it promptly blue-screened after rebooting. I've gone back to the Omega drivers.

Forgot to add that you have to open the file you downloaded if you didnt know that allready and follow the instructions to install the new software and drivers.

[KinzaKracker]

Sorry i can't get excited about this, when outside individuals make superior drivers then the actual manufacturer, it's kinda sad, but that's how it alway's goes.

[corrado85]
