ATI Displays 4.5.7 Update

Has anyone run this updater to the ATI display as yet? Any issues?

Saw this on VersionTracker for the ATI 4.5.7 update as to how someone (hopefully not your post!) solved the problem after doing the Landscape-Portrait shuffle:
"only a safe boot got me out of it so I could trash the pref file"
and how to do the safe boot-
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
2. Press the power button.
3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key. Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen. To leave Safe Mode, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
Hope this helps or maybe you've solved the problems and are mesmerized by the screen without lines! :^)
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

[W500 and Windows 7] ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I installed Windows 7 64bit on my W500 (almost 3 weeks old). It installed a driver for the ATI display card from Windows Update. However, since yesterday, I regularly get a driver crash (I assume...).
It's happening when I'm scrolling in a webpage, suddenly the page hangs, the mouse and Windows itself hangs seconds later and after that, after 5 seconds, my screen goes black, the machine beeps and it's back. In the tray, I get an error: ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
In the details of the driver, the following can be seen:
Driver Date: 28/04/2009
Driver Version: 8.612.0.0
The card is recognized as a 3650.
Am I doing something wrong here? Can I test with another driver (I tried installing the Windows Vista 64bit, but it doesn't seem to be willing to install...)?
Thanks in advance,
gill

I have the exact same hardware and software (Win7 64) and I'm getting precisely the same symptoms, screen blanks out when I am scrolling a web page vertically using the trackpoint and the center blue trackpoint scroll button.
It's really annoying.
It also never happens when the laptop is in the dock, or when the integrated graphics are engaged, this only happens when the ATI chip is running and only since ATI released the new Windows 7 drivers.
Previously I'd ran this box on on Win7 64 but used the Vista 64 bit graphics drivers from ATI and didn't have the problem, but installation was a pain.

Help! Where is Mac2TV in ATI displays update?

Im currently trying to use my TV as a display. But everytime I was connecting my TV and my new Mac Mini with S-Video Adaptor, I was only able to see only the first black&white screen with the Apple and the spinning wheel. After that, nothing.
Customer care told me to use Mac2TV to set PAL/NTSC, I installed ATI update for Mac OS X and opened the ATI Displays menu in System preferences. According to the manual, I was hoping to find Mac2TV Menu and the left....and...nothing! no Mac2TV menu ! snifff....
So if somebody got an idea, it would help me to start well 2006 ...
Thx a lot...

Hello!
I recently bought a mac mini to use as a media player for my television. I also bought the dvi-video adapter (the PAL variant, since I live in europe)...
I can't even get a picture on my 1.5 year old Panasonic 32" CRT TV, just a flash, my cable works since I tested it together with our computers.
I did some research, and found out that NTSC is set by default on the mini...and I can't find a way to change it, so I did some more research and found the macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg file, which said that I can something called Mac2TV, the installation went fine, but I didn't get any Mac2TV icon, only advance and something else...
So, I found this thread, and you wrote that the Mac2TV icon is only enabled when I connect the DVI-video adapter, but how can I change to PAL if I can't see the picture???
I also red that the FW for the ATI 9200 card is old, and that is the reason why I can't get the Mac2TV icon. But I can't find a FW that supports the ATI OEM card, only one that supports retail cards...
Can somebody please help, I'm getting really desperate...

ATI display driver lost with Linux and XP dual boot os

I brought ThinkPad W500 with windows vista. I want to get rid of the hidden boot system reserved partition and downgrade to windows xp and install OpenSuse os. Following some sourses found on the web, I first set the bios sata ahci mode to compatable mode. Then install windows xp and update the sata driver. Restart and reset the bios sata back to ahci mode. It works fine with windows xp and I install back all driver. Finally I install OpenSuse and create dual boot with Grub.
But a serious problem come up with me. Everytime after restart from the linux os and back to windows xp, xp doesn't regonize the ATI display divice and tell me no driver installed with low screen resolution. And I have to restart the machine and boot direct into xp for the second time and the problem gone. But it is so annoying of doing this everytime. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
Solved!

Hi stanleyimko,
I don't have an answer, just a couple of questions:
Does your W500 have switchable graphics? If so, you may have to turn off "let the OS detect" or permanently select one or the other in BIOS. XP isn't switchable aware, so I don't know why that would make a difference.
Do you see the problem on cold (re) boot to XP, or only on warm reboot from Linux to XP?
Seems like something is leaving your BIOS in an odd state (I guess that's obvious) and maybe a cold reboot would sort it.

ATI Display Driver

I am trying to install the the ATI Display Driver package for a T500 without any of the applications that are included with it. In other words, I only want to install the drivers and nothing else like the Catalyst Control Center, etc.
When I try to do a customized install, I cannot uncheck any of the boxes I don't want installed. It seems like it is all or nothing. what's customizable about that?
Is there a way to do what I want?
Thanks

You could ignore the fact that catalyst control center is installed and just remove CCC from startup (under HKLM\.....\Run in registry) when Windows is starting. Or you could uncompress the package and just install the driver by going into device manager and choose to update driver the driver then select the directory where you uncompressed the package.

ATI display driver fails to work with new kernel

Hi,
I've just upgraded from
OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64
to most current
OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5.x86_64
and got the problem with ATI display driver. Whenever I perform kernel upgrade, I have to recompile vendor-provided ATI display driver downloadable from AMD/ATI site, because system ATI driver, provided by OEL/RHEL as kernel module, doesn't work properly (too slow). I did that hundred times and never had a problem. This time the problem is that after upgrading to new kernel and recompiling the existing ATI display driver (Revision 10.8), it doesn't work anymore, even though it worked perfectly with previous kernel. I cannot even start X11 (glibc problem reported with stack traces!!!). The newest ATI display driver (Revision 10.9) "works" with new kernel, but display is awfully slow making any serious work impossible. It is even slower than system-provided ATI driver.
I am pretty sure the problem is in new kernel. As I have no backup of old kernel files and couldn't download the previous OEL kernel files from ULN, neither binary nor source (the files do not exist on ULN anymore, only the recent kernel files), I downloaded the previous kernel source from ftp.redhat.com, compiled the kernel and downgraded to it, recompiled ATI display driver, and everything works properly and fast as before upgrading. I can remember that ULN site used to have all kernel versions prior to actual one and cannot understand why Oracle dropped this practice. As I have an ULN account, I certainly want to have OEL patched kernel.
My question is: does anybody know how and where I can download the previous OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64 binary rpm files or at least source rpm file?
Maybe Sergio or Tommy can help?
Thanks in advance.

I have experienced the same with Ubuntu some years ago - specific feature (hack?) that was implemented in the kernel was deprecated. This was used by the display driver for an onboard Intel graphics chipset. Beryl (which was subsequently merged with Compiz) turned into a horribly slow experience. As far as I recall, a subsequent kernel patch "fixed" things as a number of users were affected, of which many complained very loudly.
Anyway, I think the lesson here is that OEL is not really the correct distro to use for a desktop. A broken ATI driver for the OEL kernel? Does not really feature in the scheme of things for OEL support. Oracle Grid/RAC/Enterprise/Standard Edition do not care. Oracle's application servers (Apache, Weblogic, etc) do not care. Etc.
Sure, GUI desktop access to an OEL server is needed (like when running dbca or an installer) - but that can easily and effectively be done using vncserver for example and running twm.
You may be able to fix/work-around the problem with the current kernel update.. you may be able to roll back the update. But what about the next time when some other component does not work after a patch or an update? Surely it is a lot less stressful and frustrating to rather use a desktop distro, like Ubuntu, instead?

ATI Display Extensions for 1Ghz PowerBook

Hi, I did not receive a copy of the Install & Restore DVD with my PowerBook 1Ghz, however Apple was kind enough to provide me with a retail copy of 10.3.3 & 9.2.2 install DVD/CD.
I've currently installed OS9 from the retail CD, and although it boots the PowerBook, the ATI Graphic Acceleration Extension does not load (there's a red X against it during startup), and as a result, hardware acceleration is disabled for all OS9 games.
Apple advises me that I need the original OS9 "ATI Display Update" extension from the Restore DVD for hardware acceleration to work, but they don't have a copy lying around with them anymore.
Could someone kindly stuff & email it (better still, email all the ATI extensions that get installed) to me at [email protected]?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Hemant. I have the same 1GHz Titanium Powerbook you have, with a bootable OS 9 installed from the original Install/Restore DVD that came with it (the DVD installs OS X 10.2.3 and OS 9.2.2). I've just bundled all the OS 9 extensions whose names contain "ATI" into a .sit archive and emailed them to you.
I'm not 100% certain that this group of extensions is all you need (other items could be required for these to work properly, but if so, I don't know what those items are). This will give you something to test, at least. Good luck!

Satellite Pro A60: ATI display driver keeps breaking down

I have had my Sat pro A60 Laptop for about a year now.
I have had a few problems with it since I got it but the main problem has just occured within the last 6-7 months.
The ATI display driver keeps on breaking down and in order for it to work I have to restart the system. This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time and it's now getting rather irriating. It does it at the most inconvenient times like when I am watching a DVD or listening to a CD.
Sometimes when I put the computer on standby, the display doesn't even start up again and the screen remains blank. In order to sort this out I have to switch off the laptop and then restart it. The main problem I have put this down to is overheating as it can get quite hot when I use it.
I sort of know how to sort this problem out, just by clearing dust from the fans. But if there is any other solution to this please help.
Thanks!

Hi
Mostly the overheating happens because of the dirt and dust inside of the cooling modules. The fans cannot work properly and cannot spin with full performance.
I think you should check the fans. I think the easiest way to clean the fans is to use the vacuum cleaner hose against the fan grilles.
About the display issue: In your case I would recommend firstly to update the display driver. Additional if the OS runs since a long time on the notebook so maybe a new OS installation form the Toshiba recovery CD would help.

There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked
Where did you get your iPhone
If from Apple try this

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? Mine is defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? It's currently defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

Any apps you purchased with the no-longer-existing ID will always have to be updated with the password to that account, you cannot merge account purchases.
To change to your new account go to Settings > Store > Apple ID: and put in the one you want to use.
