HP nw8000 video driver troubles
Hello all,
I installed Vista Ultimate RTM on my HP nw8000 yesterday. Finally got the login screen after a couple of reboots. After login, Vista correctly recognized my graphic chipset as an "ATI Mobility FireGL T2" and installed a Microsoft supplied WDDM driver, asking to reboot. After reboot, the green progress bar was show, after that the screen went blank. Had to power off manually after waiting a couple of minutes and reboot "last known good". I also tried the latest ATI Mobility Vista drivers and the latest Omega driver, same result for all of them. The only driver which sort of works is the nw8000 XP driver, however this does not support Aero and is not stable, for example the Winows Performance Update crashes the system when this driver is installed. Any good ideas? Is anyone running Vista with a nw8000 successfully? Thanks Chris |
