Are Graphics Drivers for the Thinkpad Edge E520 going to be brought up to date?

The Lenovo supplied drivers for the Radeon 6630M installed in the E520 haven't been updated since early 2012. Meanwhile ATI released v14 of the drivers just a few months ago (mid 2014). The E520 is now 5 versions behind with it's drivers, and the ATI supplied driver is incompatible.
Does Lenovo have any intention of releasing a compatible version of the latest drivers for the 6630M or are we supposed to muddle along without further support for this piece of hardware?

There are other problems with the old drivers.I can upgrade IE10 to IE11 due incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
I can't update the lastest IE10 security updates for July 2014 due to incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
I'm sure upgraing to IE12 will fail as well.
In January 2016 Microsoft will stop support for IE10 on Windows 7.:

M70-147 graphics drivers (for the 3rth time)

Ok this is the 3rth time im askig when r they going to release new graphics drivers?
I have problems with Star wars galaxies, it always chashes (virtual memory issues)when i want to switch to a alternate character (if i play more then 30 min on 1 character).
I know about the hardware lock and i wont use drivers like omega or somthing like that bc im still in warrenty.
And please dont give me the default answer about that my laptop is a new model and that they dont have new drivers yet getting pretty boring here always getting the same answer.
I never had ne problems with my normal pc and i cant put my normal pc up due to lack of space i have.
Thanks.
ps: appologies for this not so friendly post

Hi
I completely agree with Ivan.
The problem is that the Toshiba graphic drivers are not similar with the original manufacturers graphic drivers.
The original graphic drivers are designed for desktop PC usage not for notebook. The notebook graphic driver supports a overheating protection and controls the performance of the graphic chip. If the temperature increases the driver decreases the graphic card performance.
This is very important because notebooks have no own graphic card cooling module.
The fact is that nobody knows when the new drivers are available. You can check also other notebooks with the same graphic card. Maybe there you will find a new driver.
The other drivers like omega or original manufacturers drivers you can use at your own risk.

Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

Hello again,
Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

YES we are both stating the same thing however in different terms. You will be fine with the updates that you are talking about. Just ensure that the drivers that you are updating match the make/model of your graphics adapter.
If something doesn't work out then you can always revert back to the previous driver.

Where can i find Win8 graphic drivers for Qosmio X870-BT2G23?

Hello, I brought the new Qosmio X870.
It comes with Seagate Mumentos XT 750GB hybrid drive, I have installed Intel 120GB SSD on the free slot and 1st surprise no option for RAID on BIOS.
As top of the line gaming machine this option should be available.
But lets go to the point, because I dont use windows 7 home on my network I am installing Window 8 consumer preview (on the SSD drive) so I can use Hyper-v for my work and make some gaming on free time, and 2nd surprise Toshiba support site as no drivers for my model the site not even recognize my model existence, search by serial number did find the model but not even 1 download available.
Now 3rd surprise can't find option to download driver for Nvidia GTX 670M on Nvidia site, or any other of the new mobile boards from Nvidia.
After some research I managed to find model X870-BT2G23 on Toshiba TW support site and get the drivers for the other unknown devices in device manager.
So my question is where can we find the driver for the Nvidia GTX 670M?
Sorry for the long text and the bad English.
Regards

Hello again,
Sorry for the delay on follow up, because I've been busy.
In the same day I was able to extract the graphics driver from the original installation and installed on the windows 8 OS.
I am sorry, maybe is my English, but I don't want the Windows 8 drivers, I want the original drivers and software available on support page. I cannot understand that an international company like Toshiba is selling a new product but no drivers CD included and no reference for the new product on the support page, a good and fast support is essential on modern global business.
Nvidia auto detect feature on Nvidia driver download page now correctly identifies GTX 670M but says that the graphic card as specially tailored by the notebook manufacturer and the driver should be downloaded from the manufacturer download site.
Other open question is the possibility to choose RAID on BIOS since the chipset as able to do it, and to be able to accelerate drive access with Intel Smart Response technology (use a SSD disk to speed access to the main disk), or to configure 2 SSD drives in stripe (RAID 0). Sorry but the mumentos XT hybrid is a good disk but lacks the kind of performance this machine can deliver.
So now all devices are correctly identified on device manager, the only thing I miss at the moment is the software for the special keys on the keyboard and some of the software originally installed for the Blu-ray, because I really don't want the huge amount of software that came with the original windows 7 home on my start up.
The Qosmio X870 is lighting fast with Windows 8 on a really old Intel SSD, can't wait to try 2 SSD new generation on RAID 0 (maybe one day), here is Windows performance index
Processor: 7,8
Memory (RAM): 8,8
Graphics: 5,8
Gaming Graphics: 6,5
Primary hard disk: 7,8
The low 5,8 on windows aero is because Nvidia GTX 670M don't kicks in till the 3D tests, the original disk scored 5,6 so even if this is not an last generation SSD 7,8 is a huge difference.
Waiting for the original drivers and software on the support site......
Regards

[SOLVED] UEFI shell won't work on Thinkpad Edge E520

Hi there,
I have installed the x86_64 UEFI Shell 2.0 on my Thinkpad Edge E520 which is already booting in UEFI mode using refind-efi for some time now. The same shell is running just fine on my desktop system.
But - on the Thinkpad it doesn't run. The shell is installed as /boot/efi/shellx64.efi and when I start the laptop, refind appears and shows me the shell icon (amoung others). But when I choose the shell from refind I get a black screen with this writing:
Starting shellx64.efi
Using load options ' '
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
ASSERT c:\dev\edk2tip\Build\Shell\RELEASE_VS2005\X64\ShellPkg\Application\Shell\Shell\DEBUG\AutoGen.c (431): !EFI_ERROR (Status)_
I don't know if the text is going on after the last underline. If yes I cannot see it because the text is running out of the screen.
The funny thing is - exactly the same setup is working pretty nice on my Asrock ITX board but not on the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520.
Any ideas? Just say, if you need further information.

Okay, found the - somewhat obvious - solution myself. The UEFI Bios on my Thinkpad is an "old" UEFI 2.0. So, Shell 2.0 won't work on this system (as I could have read in the wiki ).
Now, I have installed Shell 1.0 and I can enter the shell from refind .

Vista drivers for the Libretto U100?

I've read reports on the net of people running Vista on UMPC's such as the Samsung Q1, given that the spec of these units is lower than the Libretto it's got me thinking to install Vista on the Libretto... are Toshiba planning to release any Vista compatible drivers for the U100?
I realise it's a rare device but it'd be a nice showcase device.
thanks.

Hi, yes, I realise the Libretto is end-of-life... which is a crying shame, it's a fantastic device.
Well, to answer my own question I loaded my Vista Business Upgrade on my Libretto U100 last night. I've previously upgraded the Libretto to 1Gb of RAM and Vista upgraded without complaint. It doesn't run Glass, the particular model of Intel graphics on the Libretto is not compatible... but the OS itself seems to run well enough.
Everything so far seems to be working... network (wired and wireless) is detected and I can connect easily to my WPA protected WLAN, the graphics drivers set the resolution and colour depth correctly and sound is working.
Hibernate and suspend behave normally (as tested so far) ... the only thing I haven't tried is Bluetooth.
Hurrah.

Need new graphic drivers for Satellite L650

Hello everyone,
I'm going to explain my situation, that I think many others have this same problem with the toshiba right now.
1 year ago and some month pass after I got my first laptop Toshiba Satellite L650-11F and in the beginning I was thinking this computer will work without problems for at least 2 years. Well, today I found one "BIG" problem with the toshiba... I can't install the new drivers for my graphic card AMD ATI Mobility RADEON HD 5650 from the official AMD driver website.
Today I buy Battlefield 3 for my machine, but my drivers are old, can't handle the graphics well and the solution is to download the new drivers from AMD, but is impossible. What I ask is for the Toshiba Dev's get the new AMD drivers ready do download as fast as possible, because right now I got in hands a game that was suppose do run without a problems and the old drivers killed the game completly.
I receive all the time new drivers for WLAN all the time, I don't need that. My graphic card don't have updates for almost 1 year, is a joke!

It is well known that display or graphic drivers for mobile units (notebooks) should be downloaded from notebook manufacturers download page. Offered drivers must be tested. Many people have reported the same but, generally speaking, it is nothing new.
Portable units have specific design and built in cooling system is designed to cool down hardware placed in notebook case. New drivers force graphic card can force graphic card to run with more power and offer more performance. More performance means more heat. If the cooling system canot cool down graphic adapter result will be overheating or even hardware damage.
Thats the reason why notebook manufacturers dont offer graphic card drivers update so often as manufacturers for cards designed for desktops.
One other thing: notebooks from series L are not the best machines for gaming. I have used several Toshiba notebooks in the past and it is my personal opinion.

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

Hi there,
today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

For feedback from experienced users, post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

Drivers for the sunfire v20z network card.

does any one know were i could find the drivers for the sunfire v20z network card. and does anyone know the chipset of the card?

That's a software question.
This is a hardware forum.
You didn't specify, but I'll presume you are not talking about any add-on card.
The necessary software packages for the onboard
broadcom BCM5703 gigabit (bge) circuitry are native to Solaris x86 (4/04 and newer).
Therefore they'll be on your OS installation CD's.
Just install the OS and rock-n-roll.

Drivers for the Apple External Modem in 10.5

Hi all! I recently upgraded my system with Leopard. All seems to be great save for the fact I can't use the external Apple USB modem attached to my Macbook Pro. While I don't fax that much I do sometimes have to use it to receive faxes and such from others. Is there a driver update for this for Leopard? Thanks to all in advance for the help!
Lance

The drivers for the Apple USB Modem are already installed along with Leopard..... I'm not sure why its not working.
Try opening up System Preferences - Network, and see if it shows up/if its enabled.
Other than that, I don't see why you should have any problems.
