Question:
Drivers from ATI dont work...
I tried to update to catalyst 6.7 and i got an INF error, i did a search in the forums and found that the x1600 Mobility isn't supported by the drivers. But ive heard of other kids in the forums updating the drivers. What are my options? any thing beside omegas? Also i un-installed Asus Live Update, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Is there a way to set what the Fn+F(n) functions do? Also is it normal to wake the computer up from hibernate by hitting the power button.... sorry for my n00bish questions this is my first laptop...

Re: Drivers from ATI dont work...
you might want to try the ATi drivers off the Intel website(just as good as Omegas though its for the S96j not your notebook(what model BTW?). The Fn buttons should work with the ATK100 driver, and lets you use the commands. Well, out of stand by and hibernation, its set on mine via any keys.

The x1600 is listed under the catalyst 6.7 as being supported.....
Answer:
Re: Drivers from ATI dont work...
your choices are 3...in order of my preference
1) Stock ASUS drivers..get the job done and very stable.
2) modded ati drivers...go to driverheaven for details
3) omega drivers
ASUS is not on the supported list for standard ATI drivers so this is the reason why it probably wouldnt install.

rj686, did you try to install the Catalyst Drivers, or the Catalyst Mobility Drivers? The Catalyst package should include support for all current ATI chips, though there may be differences between the Desktop and Mobility packages (I believe there's also a seperate Catalyst set for Windows Media Center Ed., but that's another story...).
Use must use this direct link to get them - browsing through the site will run a check and it will tell you Asus is not on the supported list:

I haven't installed 6.7 yet, but I did install 6.6 without a hitch, and would use the ATI drivers before the Omega drivers, which, as I understand it, are based off the Desktop Catalyst drivers, which as I mentioned were originally written to support the Desktop chipsets.

i wouldn't keep the stock asus drivers..very unstable..a lot of ppl either installed the latest ati ones or the omegas..omegas give the highest scores in 3dmark05 and are stable
Answer:
Re: Drivers from ATI dont work...
latest catalyst mobility drivers work great for me. you do have to use that link because asus isn't a supported manufacturer though.
Answer:
Re: Drivers from ATI dont work...
what kind of scores do the new ATI ones give you? something similar to the omega's?
