Leopard Inconsistent Display Drivers?

I just installed Leopard on my iBook G4 12" (mid 2005 model) and since then, the display driver randomly switches between the correct driver and a generic one (or so I'm guessing). The generic driver offers a bunch of unsupported display settings in system profiler, while the correct driver limits the choices to 2 display settings. Is there any way to correct this? I don't get a startup screen nor brightness control function while the generic driver is active (90% of the time). Tried clean installing tiger, still same issues. Tried pram/vram and pmu reset, not working at all. Here is a screenshot of the two driver profiles in system profiler (the correct driver on the left, generic on the right):

I know other users are having brightness control issues as well (in tiger/leopard) so this might also help solve their issues.
Thanks to anyone who can offer ideas on how to fix this. I really don't want to revert to Panther.

The vendor's website has the same info from a year ago ... the actual manuf. of the board is unknown, no name on it ... uses Silicon Image chipset ... but there is no driver update for Leopard. The vendor is a small company that makes enclosures and SATA cables and has poor Mac support. I'm not going to waste my time.
I mistakenly posted this in the wrong sub-forum ... but don't know how to make it go away.
I ordered a new board from Sonnet.

Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
System Info:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.

Premiere Elements 11 says display drivers are incompatible

When I start Premiere Elements 11 there is an error message saying:
"We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation - GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 4.4.0"
And when I click Ok the program continues to load but then the computer freeze and a hard reboot must be done.
I have the latest display drivers and had not updated anyting between the last time Premiere worked and the first time it did this.
I found some solution saying to delete a file called "Baddriver.txt" but the file is no where to be found.
I have uninstalled the display drivers and installed the latest one again, I have also uninstalled and installed Premiere again. I cant update Premiere since it freezes the computer and I can do anything in it.

Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit....
Thanks for the follow up.
For the video card...Start button, and, in the Search field above the Start button, type in Device Manager. Look to the top of that left column and click on Device Manager to open it. In the Device Manager go to Display Adapters and see what is listed under that...one or two entries and what name(s) do you see listed for video card?
For Folder Option...Start button, and, in the Search field above the Start button, type in Folder Options.
Look to the top of the left column and click on Folder Options to open the Folder Options dialog. In the Folder Options dialog, click on the View Tab. Next scroll down until you find "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" and make sure the is a dot next to it to select it.
Before all this, always good to assure that you have the last video card driver version according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card.
Please let us know if you need any further information or need clarification on anything written.
Thanks.

I have a problem when using Google Maps, at some point my computer blanks the window and says there's a problem with display drivers, and it has recovered,but it doesn't. Problem doesn't happen with Int Explorrer, so I do not believe it is the computer

When using google maps through Firefox, after asking for a place which is not the general North America section which routinely comes up, the firefox screen goes white, with a narrow banner at the top. A message appears in the lower right corner which says something about display drivers having had a problem, but now have recovered. However the display doesn't recover and the banner message is that Firefox is not responding. When I go to restart Firefox if I go to the restore point, the page is still frozen out.
I do not believe it is a problem with my computer because it doesn't happen if I use I.E. to go to google maps, then G-maps works normally.
This phenomenon did not happen before the latest upgrade to either Google or Firefox. I have used Fiefox for a number of years and also Google Maps on previous computers and on this one, and not had this before.
This is a relatively young computer (Asus EeSlate 121) less than a year old. I have used Firefox since I bought it and until recently had no problem with Google Maps.

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,

I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook, but the display drivers and such are different. How do i do this?

I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook (500g), but the display drivers and such are different. How do i do this and is it possible?
The Macbook Pro has Mac OS X 10.4.11 (70g hard drive)
The Macbook has Mac OS X 10.6.8 (500g hard drive)

The MacBook's hard drive lacks the necessary hardware drivers to boot the MacBook Pro even though it has a much newer OS on it; that's why simply moving it into the Pro doesn't work. Presumably you have a very old MB Pro, because only the very first MB Pro model (produced January to May 2006) was ever offered with an 80GB hard drive. Are you sure you want to move your big drive into such an old machine? The MacBook must be newer, because the first MacBook was introduced just as the first Pro model was discontinued.

Display Drivers for intel (R) G45 express chipset on windows 8(multipoint server 2012) 64 bit

HI
I recently bought windows multipoint server 2012 from Microsoft which comes with windows 8. I am having trouble with installing display drivers from my computer's manufacturer. The display device is Intel (R) G45 express chipset. Intel only supports
windows 7 and when I try to troubleshoot it's compatibility, the driver still does not work. I get an error notifying me that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements. My computer system is 64 bit and the drivers I download are meant
for 64 bit systems, I am currently using Microsoft basic display adapter and when I try to automatically update the driver it says that the drivers are up to date
why do I get the error that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements?
and what can I do to get the drivers working on windows 8?
PLEASE HELP
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I had the most up-to-date Intel driver installed, as far as Windows can determine (right click Intel display adapter -> update drivers, search automatically). I was also using that exact download you linked me to.
I also tried switching my graphics card to dedicated discrete mode in BIOS, which made my device ID change, but it too was not supported. I have since managed to reinstall the old drivers from 2010.
Is there some place I can go to download a more recent version of the Intel drivers than Windows can find automatically?

Where can I find new display drivers for Satellite P100

Hello,
i need new display drivers for my Notebook (Satellite P100), but it's only Version 84.0 to download.
I need version 162.0 or higher.
On Nvidia Web-Site is the new 167.0 beta, but does it work with my system?

The Toshiba graphic drivers on the Toshiba European driver page are not the same like the original graphic driver from the graphic card manufacturers.
Therefore you cannot compare the driver version numbers!
Generally the graphic driver which appears on the Toshiba page is the newest Toshiba driver.
Best regards

Qosmio F10-136 display drivers/video controller

I am in the middle of resintalling everything on my Qosmio F10-136 laptop. I have used the display drivers from the Toshiba website. However, in the device manager the video controller is showing an error and the drivers are not installed. The graphics card is a nVidia GeForce FX go5700. Scrolling pages up and down in IE is very slow.
Also when I go to display properties settings-advanced-adapter the graphics card is not shown under adapter type.
Anyone know what the problem is? Do I need to download drivers from somewhere esle?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi
The graphic driver released on the Toshiba European driver page is working and can be installed properly.
I think you did something wrong.
Try to reinstall the graphic driver again.
Remove the graphic controller from the device manager list and reboot the notebook.
Then try to reinstall the driver again. I would recommend installing it in device manger.
Choose graphic card, update the driver, then point to the downloaded graphic driver and finish the installation.
Cheers

Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.

I have administrator rights to the computer. The drivers are up to date. But I am still getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again" when opening Premier Pro CS5.5. This appears to have happed after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.10.2.
Anyone?
Thanks

Hi Stan.
I had the same problem as you did though I am using Adobe CC. I saw nobody replied to you so perhaps my eventual success on my later version may have applications to the error on your version.
Anyhow, I did all the suggestions found here (Error "Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules" | Startup ) first and updated my NVidea card to no avail. Eventually what did the trick was this...
After mucking about with the video card, I said "OK lets just have a go at Premiere itself." So I uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it. Now for some reason it didn't give me the latest patch but a slightly earlier version than the current one but lo and behold it was fine with the video card again. I was able to get my friend's video imported and quickly edited but then was having some issues with exporting where it would hang up but I went into Adobe Media Encoder and exported it there without a care. That task out of the way, I then went and made the update to the latest patch and it works perfectly fine - no video driver issues.
So short of it is this - if you've updated your drivers, perhaps what you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere.
Let me know if this works.
Cheers and good luck

Mac Book Pro 17 Core Duo & Leopard: Graphic/Display Glitches

Since I installed Leopard, the display on my MBP has the strangest behavior. On a regular basis it displays many graphic glitches such as horizontal and vertical black lines, some pixelization, windows don't refresh properly and so on. The MBP is also connected to a Apple Cinema HD Display and the glitches appear on both monitors. I have to restart to make them go away.
I've been looking all over the place on these forums and on the internet, and found that it looks like a recurrent problem with some ATI cards, (my MBP has the Radeon X1600/256Mb). Some people were able to fix it by installing a missing extension from ATI, but it does not seem to apply to this particular model of MBP or graphic card.
I did a clean install, zap the pram, verify the cables, nothing has fixed it so far.
While in Tiger, I have never had such a problem, so I am really wondering if anybody out there has had the same problems, and if a solution has been found. Any hints?
Thanks for your help.

I've had similar problems, now with the additional problem of frequent, unrecoverable crashes. "Freezes" may be a more appropriate term. I get strangely colord single-pixel lines across the screen both in regular browsing in firefox and when playing back video in Final Cut Pro. Sometimes these lines stay on the screen when I move the windows around, sometimes they can be "erased" by moving the window away and moving it back. I have had a very bad time indeed, and no apparent solution.
