Driver List

[kf_man]

I just figured I would compile the list of drivers that I use.  Those not listed are installed automatically by Windows and updated through Windows Update.

Graphics:

• Stock ATI Catalyst Drivers (From FileShack) (Version 5.6 or older) modded with the DH Mod tool
• Alternative: Omega 2.6.42 (Based on Catalyst 5.6) (From Guru3D) - No need to mod these drivers.  Some people say they work better than the modified stock Catalyst drivers.

Bluetooth:

• SP2 Bluetooth Hack for basic functions
• Bluetooth by hp for more advanced functions

Chipset:

• Generic Intel 855 Chipset

Wireless:

• Generic Intel Pro Wireless

Touchpad:

• Generic Synaptics Touchpad Driver

SD Card Reader:

• Winbond SD Card Reader

Manual:

• Manual List

Note that these are the drivers that I personally use.  If you have any other suggestions, feel free to reply to this post.

EDIT:  Updated link to old version of ATI Catalyst drivers
EDIT 12/5/2006: Added reference to Omega Catalyst drivers and cleaned up the format a little bit.

thanks kf,
what is the popular graphic driver for x1000 (radeon9200/9000) now? When i did doom3, i found something good for me(DNA3.41?). But after some day i reinstalled the whole system, nothing familiar. Now i have to run it at 1280X960. pls help me out.

The only thing I use is the Modded Catalyst 5.6 and it works well for what I need.

I tried some of the Catalyst before, forgot which version.
what is Modded and where to get it. I saw your thread in driverheaven.net. Any link there?
thanks

You just download the normal Catalyst drivers (I provided a link to the correct version in the first post) and then get the mod tool from driver heaven.  Just follow their instructions and you should be fine.

You might wanna try rad_w2kxp_omega_2642,this is the last Omega version of drivers (made from Catalist 5.6) that work with my X1005EA,cause with the Catalist driver I have problems with COD2 and this ones work perfectly!!

I'll add the Omega drivers as another option when I get the chance, thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have a full list of drivers that need to be installed after reinstalling windows clean?  The drivers page on the hp site says it doesn't support the current language or something like that.

Looks like missing sounds, infrared, lan and modem?

BTW, thanks for bringing these forums back.

Wow, late reply, but these are all the drivers I use after a clean install.  If you just install windows and connect to ethernet with a cable, run Windows update to get quite a few of the drivers.  The rest of the drivers I use are listed above.
