ok - I did the update from CAT 3.2 to CAT 3.4 (I think - lol). Here is what my driver version says: 6.14.10.6343 Can someone confirm this is the right version? Oh yeah, the version date is: 4/28/2003.
I am pretty sure it is updated. It seems to be working well. On another note. I run my 8887 at display of 1152 X 864 and I really like that setting. Seems very clear to me and not too small and not too big. |

This Radeon driver mobility modification tool worked well for me and gave me an easy installation of the Catalyst 3.4 drivers on my 5670:

Having just a little problem (lol). Um, when I reboot my computer, it must think I am blind because the display keeps comming up at 640 by huge. Someone else was having this problem I think. Anyone know how to fix this? Also, is any one else having this "little" problem? Crap.......

It worked fine until I rebooted.
 Went back to the Cat 3.2 drivers and it is working now. I guess I will wait and see how every one else is doing with their update process. |

why dont you just use those instructions someone posted above. I use them everytime and they work just fine. I cant understand why you would want to mod and tweak and write code when a few clicks will see you through...
sheesh... and the 640x400 problem - when you restart does windows tell you that your res is very low and does it ask you to click a balloon on the taskbar - DO IT I had the same problem - clicked the bugger and everything is fine now... |

I am still stuck at 640 MODE after finally getting these stupid drivers installed. Anyone wanna buy a 5670? I am very pissed off at this laptop right now. I dont understand why the resolution DOES NOT save. Why the hell would you be able to change it and it not stay. I did the stupid ballon thing and that doesnt do anything. As well when I finally got the 3.2's installed i never had to click on that thing anyway. I seriously am never buying a ATI product ever again.

I am a bit pissed to, but I bet there will be some kind of fix out shortly.
The 5670 users are the ones who are experiencing this, so all I can say is use the 3.2 drivers till a fix comes out  |

Any 8886 or 8887 owners out there try these 3.4 Cat drivers? I'm not budging on drivers or updates until I need to.

Yes - I have an 8887 with XP Home. Could not get the new drivers to keep my resolution to stay at a good setting. Tried many times. Always changed when I rebooted. Give it a try and see if you can make it work on your 8887.
