My room mate had to reformat his computer, and he has an ATi card. He doesnt know what kind and windows wont tell me. I looked around ati.com but cant find a driver for it that works. Is there some kind of genaric driver for ati cards on notebooks? Please link if there is, thanks.
 
There arent any markings on the card itself? Open it up and look for a serial number or model number and google it.
 
Its a laptop thats not mine...I just need a genaric driver...
 
besides the catalist drivers I have no clue what would work for you, somethings effed up on that card.

Edit: Maby it's onboard, in that case maby it requires special motherboard drivers, you could go looking at the mobo manufactures website and see if they offer anything.
 
This is why I use Nvidia...one simple driver...I hate searching around like this...gah
 
i thought windows would install a driver automatically if dont didnt hit the cancel button on windows pop up that says "found new hardware". thats the way it is when you install a new card or remove video drivers.

i think there are specific laptop drivers for some nvidia graphics cards too. sometimes you have to get them from laptop maker.

it just installs a generic video card, unfortinitly it performs very crappy in any games and even produces some wierd lag effects when moving pages around and stuff, if you want to try it uninstall your graphics driver and see for yourself.

I dont have a laptop, anywho, I found out its a "Mobility Radeon 7000" yet I still cant find drivers. Can anyone send a linky please?
 
ATI doesn't really support notebook drivers, they tell you to go to the manu's website and download them. But you can download the catalyst package and extract it and do a manual install, thats what I did with my laptop (X600). But if its a laptop just google the model and see what video chipset it uses.
