AGP Texture Acceleration (7405GX)

Is AGP Texture Acceleration supposed to be enabled on a 7405GX with a radeon 9600 64mb, in Dxdiag under the display tab?

I am running windows XP pro SP2.
I am running the 4.10 ATI drivers I believe. The drivers don't seem to make a difference.

Also, in display properties---radeon mobility 9600 properties, under the smartgart tab the AGP speed is set to off, instead of 8x. I have tried to set it to 8x but it never works when I start up. Is that a problem too?

Thanks.

I'll try reinstalling them and see what happens. Thanks.

It crashed my system with a bluescreen before I got into windows. Damn laptop.

After installing the VIA Hyperion 4.55vp1 drivers, is there a specific reason as to why my computer will refuse to start up?

Yeah, I do. I am desperate now, I don't understand why I have these video deficiencies in so many games. I've installed OS's and video cards and all of that enough times to know how to set them up properly, but why this is not working properly---is horribly confusing.

I installed the latest VIA Hyperion 4 in 1, i believe, and I then installed the latest omegas. I crashed, restarted into safe mode, and got this error log file here:

I just don't know what to do. Any help appreciated. thanks.

tried that...same effect. at the end of my rope with this laptop.

I have figured out what the actual conflicts is, it is between the driver and the AGP controller driver from VIA. The *only* setup that I have found that works...is using ANY ati driver with a very old version of the AGP Controller driver.

The info for the AGP chipset driver is this:

VIA CPU to AGP Controller

5.1.0.180

I am going to try updating to the 5.5 catalysts. It should work. I tried the latest hyperions but those definitely aren't working, they won't install properly for some reason. After installing them, it leaves me with some driver from 2003. Maybe my system is updating it on its own. I can't really tell. I will update, I really want to get to the bottom of this.

I updated, and the latest catalysts work. Now I have to figure out why this system will not accept the latest hyperion AGP controller driver from VIA.

Oh please I hope someone here has an answer for me!

Then it's hardware, and I have no way to fix it. I will have to call gateway and get them to do it for me. :\

Well, maybe you can help me. I believe I installed the IDE accelerator drivers. I have a year 2001 VIA Bus Master IDE controller driver installed.

What bothers me, and makes this think this is hardware, is the fact that i've done fresh formats a few times on this machine, just to solve this problem. I would install everything normally, but end up with the same problem when it came to installing drivers.

I also have a Primary and Secondary IDE Channel listing in the device manager. Those are run by microsoft drivers.

Perhaps I should try one, last, reformat where I do things in an exact order and pray it works.
