Newbie: ATI Graphics Question for my ThinkPad

#1 Post by theshack1990 » Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:29 am

Hi all, i am hoping someone can help me out. I own a T43 and my goal right now is to hook it up to my tv, using this s-cable i have. The graphics card that is installed is ATI X300 and when i click on the advanced tab, i only get 5 tabs. General.Adapter.Monitor.Troubleshoot.Color Management. I do not get a Display tab. So i was thinking i need to update my ATI driver. So i went over to Lenovo support

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-58597

and i noticed that only the T43/P has this update, not mine, the T43. So my questions are will the is T43P update still work for my laptop.

IF not, what other options do i have at this point

Thanks for your time

Welcome to the forum!

What is your operating system? Apply this driver if you're using Windows XP:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-61503
Current: T420
Previous: T400, T43p Flexview, T40, R52, T43p 14"
My first ThinkPad was 570

Thanks lukee for your response. I failed to mention that i am running windows xp professional. I had actually found that link before posting my question but am concerned that it doesn't list the t43 at the top for compatability, only t43P. Is that a problem? will it work for my T43?

Thanks!

Yes it will work with T43 which has the X300 GPU chip.
