T60p Windows 7 video driver

#1 Post by Bookworm » Thu Aug 18, 2011 2:06 pm

Where can I download the correct video driver for the T60p and Windows 7? I used the one from Lenovo and can't use my sceensaver because the driver isn't Direct3D compaible.

There is an ATI driver included in W7, but you'll have to pick it up via Windows update. You could try that. Looked good on my 21" LCD (@1600x900) on a docked T60P running an ATI V5200. YMMV.

You can also try modding the legacy 10.2 Catalyst.

I know this is an old thread bump, but I didn't immediately find this here - so for those who may be searching in the future...

Here is a download of CCC that will install and work fine on Win7. The only "trick" is that you need to run Windows update to get the latest version of the driver, install CCC, then roll back the driver to the Windows update version to get Windows Performance Assessment to work properly in its evaluation of Aero performance (at least, I did).

The best way is to get Catalyst 10.2 and run MobilityModder.NET on the driver. That's how I've always ran, anyway.
