How to get "ATI Mobility FIREGL V5250 graphics adapter" on T60p to support plug-n-play monitor

My T60p 8742 with ATI Mobility FIREGL V5250 graphics only recognizes a "plug and play monitor" (a Sceptre X240BC-FHD  tv) as a "default monitor" and can't get the monitor to display in its target resolution, 1920x1080, using VGA.
Setting it to 1920x1080 in Display Properties yields 1280x720 which extends beyond the montor's frame.
I want to use it as a second monitor along with my T60p's 1680x1050 screen. (OS is XPsp3)
Will updating the the video driver
 > from "8.442.3-080103a1-057754C (Build ID: 79D172WW)"
 > to "8.593.100.7-090929a"
(per http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62841) get me plug-n-play support?
If not, any way to make it work?
Thanks very much.

The problem has been corrected(!!!!), so I'll mark this issue as solved.  I now have an inoperative Catalyst Control Center (CCC), but I feel that is a comparatively minor issue that I can deal with later.
There were several learnings along the way to share with anyone who may be interested:
- Based on this experience, I would regard v8.442 FireGL video driver as less stable than Version 8.383.1.1.3 (for XP) in dual monitor mode, and would not recommend its use.  If you do upgrade to it, be prepared to rollback.
- Old drivers can be found on www.opendrivers.com, but are also available via ftp from IBM's web site.  I found this quite by accident.  The v8.383.1.1.3 driver is at  ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/79d165ww.exe.
- If, like me, you can't use rollback and have to install an older driver over a new one, be aware that the older version of CCC will fail to install.  You must uninstall the newer version first.  Otherwise, you'll be left with a version of CCC that (apparently) fails to run.
Thanks for your help, JanJL!

    I have a 15.4"  T60P 8744-C9U with ATI Mobility FireGL V5250. The fan makes weird noise - the Laptop overheats and goes to sleep. I need to replace the fan (or the whole assembly).
    1. What is the part number?
    2. What else do I need (Thermal Paste / Screw driver etc?)
    3. Are there any instructions / Videos etc?
    4. Where can I buy the fan from?
    Thanks for your help!!!
    edit: 
    I did a little digging and the part number seems to be 41W6409. However one ebay item says that it is for integrated grahics. I am consufed. Please help me find the correct part number.

    Welcome to the forum!
    41W6409 is the correct FRU number.

  • Broken ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 for W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit

    Hello all,
    My setup is Lenovo Thinkpad W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Display card is a ATI Mobility FireGL V5700
    My graphics drivers used to be functional but now I have lost a lot of functionality (mostly graphics issues).
    My two biggest issues are:
    Many video games will crash/break because of my drivers apparently
    Lost switchable graphics completely (the ability to change from FireGL V5700 to the low power card)
    To clearly state: It is impossible to download these drivers from AMD, AMD themselves tell you to go to Lenovo
    This is because Lenovo is responsible for the display card drivers in their own laptops.
    I have not modified my computer. I believe that Lenovo's updates broke my laptop's functions.
    How do I FIX this??
    Nothing works from Lenovo's website. I've installed all their updates and the issues persist.
    The Lenovo Solution Center tells me that everything is up to date.
    Windows Update tells me everything is up to date.
    I am NOT reformatting my computer, that is a rediculous thing to say when everyone is clearly having this issue.
    What is the deal here? This laptop cost a very large amount of money and now it just broke itself? I don't believe it.

    Ok thank you, this is likely a BIOS related issue now.
    As you can see, Power Manager does not provide a switchable graphics option:
    Device Manager only recognizes the high power graphics card (FireGL V5700) and not the low power card
    Here is my BIOS settings for the display adapter:
         Default Primary video Device: INTERNAL
         Boot Display Device: THINKPAD LCD
         Graphics Device: DISCRETE GRAPHICS
         OS Detection for Switchable Graphics: DISABLED

  • ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card Windows 8 driver missing

    I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
    Windows 7. 
    Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution,
    so not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution. 
    Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated 1.12.2008). 
    Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated 22.1.2008), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library,
    maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed. 
    MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too? 

    Thank you all of your thanks. 
    I can confirm that this solution works with Windows 10 Technology/Insider preview too. And surely works with forthcoming Windows RTM too. 
    Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TP work both like a charm with nearly 10 years old HP Compaq nx9420 laptop, with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display adapter. Nice co-operation of "old" hardware and very Modern Windows OS.
    So in brief:
    If you have laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or other X1000-series display adapter and
    you want to install Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, do this:
    0) First just install Windows 8.x/10. It will install Microsoft Generic display driver, but that doesn't support full resolution of ATI Mobility Radeon X1000 -series - for example it may show maximum 1400x1050 -resolution, thus your laptop display and Radeon
    X1000 may support native 1650x1050, but you can't obtain that resolution with that Microsoft generic driver. So you need ATI-driver and you can get it this way: 
    1) With Internet Explorer (this doesn't work with other browsers) go to
    Microsoft Update -catalog:   http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
    2) Search "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600"
      (or X1300, X1800 etc)
    3) Sort search results by date (last update -column), latest on top. You will see drivers for Windows 7
    - they will work with Windows 8.x and 10 too. There is certainly two of them; other is 32 bit only and other is 64 bit dirver.
    4) Select proper driver version of them, according your Windows 32 or 64 bit, so click Add
    5) At top-right click Show basket and then download those driver packages to your computer. They are cab-file
    -packages. 
    6) Obtain 7-zip -utility, install it and with it unpack that cab-driver package on folder with its package-name.
    7) On start of taskbar, right mouse button click Windows-Start and then select Hardware management. On
    Hardware management -window open Display adapter -section, then mouse right click Microsoft adapter and select Update driver. Then on next window, select search driver from computer. 
    8) Browse on folder, where you unpacked ATI driver (on stage 6 earlier) and select Next ... that updates
    driver, on the go and you don't need even to reboot Windows. 
    9) Now you have proper ATI Mobility Radeon -driver in use. It  surely sets automatically resolution
    according your laptop screen (so recommended native resolution of screen panel) or you can select that on diplay settings. 
    Extra: For that Windows 8.x/10 boot works fine too, do this too: 
    Seems that Windows 8.x (and Windows 10 too), with their hybrid-shutdown -functionality, require some support of the display adapter, that ATI Radeon Mobility x1000 -series don't have. 
    So the solution is to disable that Windows 8.x (or Windows 10) hybrid boot -functionality (that is quicker boot) and to use "normal boot". 
    You can fix that this way:
    - at end of Taskbar click battery/power icon and select Power settings
    - navigate to power and sleep settings
    - either at bottom of those settings, or in Win10 more power settings, select power buttons functionality/settings (so what power button, sleep button or closing laptop screen does)
    - at bottom of those settings is shutdown options (or with similar name). uncheck "use quick boot" -settings (for to uncheck that you may need to click first upper "changing disabled settings" (or similar name) at top or windows) 
    (I recommend to check Hibernate at the same time too, because that is usefull)
    - then Save settings and reboot Windows and you have got rid of that problem that Windows 8.x/10 don't show Lock screen, now it does.
    Boot takes just a little longer, so practically no problem. And if you need quicker boot with laptop, use Hibernate-state, so don't shut down your laptop, but instead put it into Hibernate-state (that is better than Sleep mode, because Hibernate-mode doesn't
    consume battery-power, like Sleep-mode does)

  • [LENOVO Y50-70] How To Set NVIDIA Card as Default Graphic Adapter

    I have just bought Lenovo Y50-70. But i wonder how to set NVIDIA Card as default Graphic Adapter instead using Intel Card. Thanks

    hi monx,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The Y50-70 uses Nvidia Optimus Technology to automatically switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and Nvida GPU (for maximum performance).
    To manually set the default graphics adapter, you will need to set this inside the Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings.

  • W500 with ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 -can't change switchable graphics to "High Performanc​e"

    My W500 crashed on me this morning while playing a game, and I ran into a couple blue screens of death.After doing some troubleshooting, I determined that I had an issue with my video card, more specifically that my machine no longer recognizes my ATI Mobility FGL V5700, and only the low quality Intel chipset.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI Catalyst drivers, but that did not work.
    I also tried changing the switchable graphics back to "High Performance", but when I do, the screen goes completely black. If I put my computer to sleep and then wake it back up, the switchable graphics automatically go back to "Energy Saving", and my display works again, of course with the Intel graphics only.
    If reinstalling the drivers doesn't work, and I can't change the graphics back to High Performance mode, does that mean my video card is shot? Any suggestions other than buy a new one or live with the Intel graphics?
    I'd try to contact support but unfortunately my warranty just expired a month ago. Seems like everything breaks within a couple months of the warranty expiring. Grrr.

    I'm having identical issues. After updating the driver through lenovo update utility, i can no longer get the graphic card driver working. I've tried several different drivers, none of them work, and I'm now stuck here with a useless computer while my deadlines come closer and closer. Are there seriously no offical reply to any of these threads?

    Hope this works somehow been looking all day long now :(

    Hi,
    its your lucky day my friend.
    Check this sites and download the drivers you need:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    http://www.omegadrivers.net/
    The drivers are native Nvidia/ATI drivers but the *.inf files (the files where the hardware information and the settings for the cards are listed) were fitted for mobile systems. That means you can install them on your machine and by the way you will get the most actual drivers.

Why are you asking to find another way if your IT folks won't set up your phone without it?
    You are able to set up multiple email accounts on a cellphone.
    My company's e-mail does not support Android, which is the OS on my current phone.Your company's email doesn't have to support Android. Android is not an email protocol. Android uses pop and imap which are not specific to android, but are cross platform.
    It seems that the cheapest way would be to see if you can access it on your personal phone via an email client without making any changes to your plan.

  • How to get  ATI X1300 to 1600x1200 on DVI?

    In Solaris 10, the ATI RADEON X1300 card is supported only by the Vesa driver
    and not by the Radeon driver in Xorg. Now, using the analog output of the X1300
    you can get a monitor resolution of 1600x1200 but if you use the DVI output, it
    drops back to 1280x1024 (DELL FP).
    Is this a driver issue, or is there some xorg.conf trick I am missing? Thanks.

    Have You married this OpenSolaris driver with regular Solaris10? Results are positive? BTW - Why not switch entirely to OpenSolaris. I have installed quite recently snv91. It handles perfectly graphic desktop on my Asus 1680 x 1050 monitor (DVI cable GeForce 8600 GTS). :)
