A31 ATI Video Driver/Support From Vista?

#1 Post by n1nj4Lo » Sun Aug 12, 2007 3:34 am

I've got it installed and read on a blog that someone had successfully gotten dual-display supported in a beta format of Vista... But I was wondering if theres any official support for the real Vista and ATI Radeon 7500 or anybody come across any fixes for this? Thanks in advance for all help, advice and support...

ATI won't release a driver for your r7500. Support for this Chipset stopped years ago with the release of their Catalyst+CCC solution. Since that time, only r9500 and up cards are supported. For XP, you could mod the Catalyst+CCC Desktop-Driver so it supports older cards, but under vista this isn't possible anymore. (See http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/ for a complete list)

The Radeon 7500 is supported by a standard microsoft driver under vista, the ati radeon 9000 xddm.
