Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
I appear to have lost one of my comments but here is the gist of it: By editing the inf file i managed to get a resolution of 1400*1050, the win2k sound driver is compatible with win98 both using the t43 and t43p motherboard. The device id of the v3200 IS 3154, but I can not get the system to pick t...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
According to the following, the PCI ID should be 1002:5460 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T43 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_X300 Yepp, that's the vendor id and device id of the x300, which is why you add VEN_1002&DEV_5460. Still haven't been able to get the FireGL V3200 ...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
Alright, time for a progress update, I have managed to install catalyst drivers by using a modified C7_21000.inf from the wme-8-03-98-3-050117a-021000e catalyst suite on my t43 By adding "ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300" = RV370_ENU, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5460 under the [Mfg] section of the inf I have been able...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
I fully know that using win98 will impose a fair amount of limits. I went into this fully aware that I may not be able to run features such as wireless or etcetera. My current priority is to make video and sound work to a certain degree. I am also fairly certain I can get some other features such as...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
I do. Because when you force a T42 driver (which is one and the same ranging from 7500 through 7800 through 9000/9600 to T2) onto a T43 it will not work within the Windows environment. Period. Been there and done that. The reverse also holds true. Thank you, that's actually quite helpful as it rule...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
I'm pretty sure the video drivers for the t42 are just compressed generic catalyst drivers, so I don't see a reason they shouldn't. That being said I do agree with you, the fact most information on this topic is from more than a decade ago really is quite an issue. particularly because a lot of the...

Re: Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
Welcome to the Forum. There never were any T43/T43p drivers for W98 (or earlier), only from W2K onwards. To get them, click on the Drivers link at the top of this page. Thank you for the welcome, I'm well aware of the fact that drivers were not released for laptops beyond the t42, I have heard succ...

Installing windows 98 video driver on t43 with ati video card
Hello, I recently acquired a lot of t43s and t43ps, I managed to successfully install windows 98 on both an unmodified t43 2668 46u and a t43 in which I have replaced the motherboard with one from a t43p (they both have the ati 300 and 1200 video cards respectively), using an IDE ssd. One issue I ca...
