GMA900 lakeport drivers

#1 Post by i-SnipeZ » Sat Sep 27, 2008 7:50 pm

Ive heard people around the net say they have it but nobody seems to upload it. So, in order for us w/ integrated graphics on our T4x's to have Aero, we need to

A) petition

B) find them

Would anybody help in any way w/ this?

I found them, and tried them, and got nothing out of them on a VAIO with a 910 Chipset. As for a petition, the one for Intel to release a WDDM certified one, went unanswered. :(

I'd love to get Aero Glass running on it, but without Intel or MS releasing something new, I think we're out of luck.

well at least vista runs, id just like to get a score thats actually real vs. the 1.0 i get because w/ the current drivers you appearantly have no vram of any kind :cry:. My T43 seems to actually work faster w/ Vista. Really, my only gripe is that w/o new drivers, their is no opengl on the 900, thus, no Call of Duty >.<

That's because they don't work with the RTM release of Vista.

See.... http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2 ... for-vista/

I wan to clarify something. The original unaltered Lakeport drivers from the early builds of Longhorn don't work, as Bill states, but I was talking about the "hacked" driver packages derived from Lakeport that have been shared on the net. Those ARE supposed to work on RTM with risks, but even those didn't work for me.
