ATI Catalyst 8.6 video drivers available for testing.
Get it here, let me know what you think!
http://www.filefactory.com/file/3302aa/n/ATICatalyst8-6_7z

ORIGINAL:
Any sort of help getting ATI Mobility Radeon X300 drivers up and running my on Dell Inspiron 6000 would be greatly appreciated.
(before i defenestrate my computer)

UPDATE:

I've now done much more forum hopping, tried adding SetMaxRes and HWPnP after strange results with vBemp.

After that, I tried building a new plugin using Fabs Dell Latitude D600 & Inspiron 600m graphics driver plugin as a reference.
-changed the plugin folder (LD600Video) to ATIX300VIDEO for clarity.
-i put my driver files (as acquired with SmartDriverBackup) in the files directory and overwrote the original files.
-removed CX_10470.inf and C2_10470.inf and added my own oem0.inf (also acquired with SmartDriverBackup)
-removed all lines in oem0.inf that started with copyfiles (as paraglider instructs here http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?s=&...st&p=141511 )
-i changed LD600Video.inf to ATIX300VIDEO.inf and, for clarity, edited it from:

i ran pebuilder to check that it recognized the plugin and sure enough i see
"Video Drivers - Dell Laptopsfor XPE (for Inspiron 6000) | ATIX300VIDEO\ATIX300VIDEO.inf

so i build it (using InfCacheBuild)

and command it onto my sexy swiss army knife flash drive using "pe2usb -f g:"

All is good, and everything is right with the world. ...and thats when everything went wrong

i boot up go to the device manager and am excited to see that it says my card is installed. BUT IT LIES. all my display settings are the same as before.

When I run the Hardware Update Wizard, I get this error:

"Cannot Continue the Hardware Update Wizard

The wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently
have installed."

When i tab over to Settings in Display Properties i get this one:

"Invalid Display Settings

The Currently selected graphics display driver can not be used. It was written for a
previous version of Windows, and is no longer compatible with this version of Windows.

The system has been started using the default VGA driver.

Please contact your hardware manufacturer to get an upgraded driver, or select one of
the Microsoft provided drivers."

I'm now displaying in 640x480 in 4bit color.
...and to think it looked so promising.

Any ideas?

if you read this much, thanks for listening

Only if you don't want to follow thru on it.

You've made a good attempt so far. In your driver's inf changes did you change only the copyfile statements or all the statements paraglider noted? And does the hwid in the modified inf match the the hwid of the vidoe controller?

i should have mentioned that of the statements that paraglider noted, the only one present was copyfiles.

also, when you say the modified inf, i assume you mean the oem0.inf which was the original driver inf, so it should already have the correct hwid, but where would i look in the file to find that? i'm just a newbie, and am not wise to such things.

...if you're speaking of the ATIX300VIDEO.inf, its a short file- the only thing i omitted from my post was the [SourceDisksFiles] and the list of 17 of the 28 files in the files folder of my plugin. i think that most of the difference is accounted for by the overlap of plugins.

as for the moment, i think im going tot peek into the dlls with Angus Johnsons Resource Hacker found here if anyone is interested

EDIT: I've gone through the dlls and executables, and while i could edit the error messages to say more amusing things or change the look of some dialog boxes, icons and such, it seems that i can do nothing of consequence to better my current situation there. ...interesting tool though

hmm, the only oem0.inf file i have in any folder is the one i've been working with... is it possible that somehow i'm missing such a file? (and possibly others?)

oem#.inf files are dynamically created by windows when you install a driver.
It's a copy of the *.inf file that comes with the driver.

Ed_P

Jul 17 2008, 08:45 AM

I understand, but when you start adding, rather than installing, drivers from different sources into PEBuilder duplication is possible.

@olsens11

What exactly does your plugin inf look like? There has to be more to it than your OP.

olsens11

Jul 17 2008, 10:18 AM

thanks d4vr0s, the oem0.inf is identical to the CX_25823.inf in my C:\dell\drivers\R106547\Driver\XP_INF
...should i try using CX_25823.inf instead?

here you go Ed_P, this is what ATIX300VIDEO.inf looks like:

Both files are equal. You may use either one.
CX_25823.inf is the original name. I would use this name. Nice for future reference.

ATIX300VIDEO.inf looks nice.
Plugin should work. Try this plugin.

In addition there is a Catalyst 8.6 plugin.

However expect black screen at resolution change.
Real hardware testing is required.
A solution would be highly welcome.

Well I think your inf file could be abbreviated to this

Unfortunately it is superficial to the problem.

Under BartPE what does Device Manager show as the driver for video? Is it VBemp?

Jul 18 2008, 03:30 AM

well, i dont know if it was because i:
-trimmed down the .inf file as Ed_P suggested,
-changed the oem0.inf filename like cdob advised,

but in any case, the plugin is, indeed, working.

So many thanks to Ed_P, cdob, and also to Fab for giving me a place to start.

heres a link to the download: http://www.filefactory.com/file/4282bd/n/ATIX300Video_7z

any tips on getting the system to start up in 1280x800?
...feedback from anyone that happens to test it would be ideal.

thanks again guys, i couldn't have done it alone!

Congratulations.

Drivers from R106547 are from 2005. That's a Catalyst 6 release.
Therefore a old Catalyst works at Radeon X hardware. Thanks for report.

Do you like to test a current Catalyst too?

You have to change resolution anyway to activate driver.
Use Paraglider's setmaxres at startup http://www.paraglidernc.com/plugins/plugins.htm

and the inf you supplied (to replace fabs original inf) the Catalyst 8.6 plugin is also working.

I got acess to a ATI Radeon HD 3200. PNP does load drivers without error.
However screen goes black after resolution change.

Old mobily hardware behave different.
Does hardware or driver makes the difference?

Radeon *.inf file contain a setting DisableDualView. This is disabled by default.
Enabling DisableDualView allow resolution change. ATI graphic card is working at PE.
That's no DualView anymore. Well, at last driver is working.

A new ATI Radeon plugin, DisableDualView is set

Hi

I tried cdob's latest ATI Catalyst plugin above

My home PC has a Sapphire brand ATI X1950 pro ( PCI-E)
The Driver appears to load (as shown in device manager)
but changing resolution or running DXDIAG blanks the screen

If it had worked my BartPE would be well over 700meg, so back to the Microsoft Radeon drivers from XP SP2/SP3

cdob's inf works with v8.6 drivers on my laptop x1250, it managed a resolution change and 1680x1050 finally

Now to try and shave 20mb off somewhere

Which HardwareIDs does your graphic card use?
Dosn't device manager list two graphic cards?

QUOTE

"ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics" = ati2mtag_RS780, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9610

There is one HardwareID for HD 3200. Device manager list one graphic card.

Apperantly a Radeon X is different to a Radeon HD.
DisableDualView is a driver setting. This may work to Radeon HD only, but not to Radeon X.

A idea: disable Secondary driver

There is available Catalyst 8.7 now. Adjust

Hi cdob

Device manager under real XP shows

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7280&SUBSYS_E190174B&REV_9A\4&2CCDD017&0&0008

secondary
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_72A0&SUBSYS_E191174B&REV_9A\4&2CCDD017&0&0108

under BartPE after hwpnp with Radeon drivers installed shows similar view
I was unable to disable or uninstall the secondary controller under BartPE
(the card has 2 DVI connectors)

Hi:

I'm new to building PE builds, and I happen to also have a Dell Inspron 6000.

Should the Insprion 6000 driver be installed in the "plugins" or the "drivers" directory?

Are there any other dependencies for installing it?

mbarnes

Jul 25 2008, 04:35 PM

Hi Rob B

drivers\SCSIAdapter for Disk controller drivers

drivers\Net for network adapter drivers

Plugins\xxx for other drivers such as graphics

For Video drivers you also need Paragliders HWPnP plugin +
infcachebuild.exe which is part of post processing plugin from Sherpya (also found in ubcd4win package)
plus resolution changing plugin (various)

Thanks Mike!

I understand how to install the plugins, such as HWPnP and a resolution changing one (such as SetMaxRes).

But what do I do with infcachebuild.exe?

Is it something that I run after I run PEBuilder? Or is it something else? Do I need to put it in some directory before doing a PE build?

Is there a link that explains this anywhere?

Instructions are included with the buildscripts. Note you should replace the version of infcachebuild from the build scripts with the seperate infcachebuild 2.0 download. Both available from the Sherpya site.

has anyone got a working radeon 3600 series HD? I've tried latest catalyst drivers, gone back to the 8.6 ones, tried different inf files, and still no joy. any change to resolution in control panel or dxdiag gives me a blank screen

dog

May 14 2009, 06:38 AM

I've not tried a 3600, but I got a 2600 to work with v9.4 drivers by adding a DisableDualView setting manually in the CX_78241.inf :

CODE

HKR,, DisableDualView, %REG_DWORD%, 1

This was in the section [ati2mtag_RV630_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
looks like the 3600 uses the same section.

I'm pretty sure it didn't work with v8.6, or with v9.4 until I added the above, I think. All credit to cdob either way.

Edit: meant 2600

Hmm no joy it seems. Booted up, detects card fine, right click on desktop, panel settings are reported as 640x480 8bit colour (but it looks more like 1024 and 16/32bit) - i can change resolution to 1024x768 but going any higher monitor blanks out. And the monitor can defintely handle a higher resolutioN!

Tried that with the 9.4 drivers. Will have a bit more of a play next week..

Hi, all of the Catalyst D/L links above are dead
Does anyone have a copy?
Or even better a more recent copy of the Catalyst software?

Hi cdob, thanks for the download links but it seems like I need the mobile versions
I have a mobile X1400 ATI card in a Dell laptop and I tried the latest driver I could find on Dell's website; http://ftp.us.dell.com/video/R128573.EXE

However it was missing some files so I commented them;
;files\ativvaxx.dat=2,,1
;files\ativva5x.dat=2,,1
;files\ativva6x.dat=2,,1
;files\amdpcom32.dll=2,,1
;files\atiadlxx.dll=2,,1
;files\ATIDEMGX.dll=2,,1

But no dice I got a black screen when running dxdiag using your INF above named ";possible black screen at resolution change" with said files commented out and also all sections beginning with %DesktopInf%
I'm assuming I need a more recent driver...
But in the latest ones support for those old cards like my X1400 seems to have been dropped? (So do you know where I can find a driver, I'm assuming since you specifically linked me to Catalyst 8.6 below that that was the last version to include support for these old cards?)

There is no known solution working always.
I've no idea about a mobile X1400.

Try edit file CX_33841.inf, set

I have a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 (256MB GDDR3) and tried Catalyst 8.2 which doesn't work and Catalyst 8.6 and 9.4 which work however I also get the black screen after changing the resolution even after disabled DualView.

The Catalyst I used is a desktop version modded into a mobile version with DH Mobility Modder .NET .

Any ideas or a full working plugin?
