Pavillion dv6 2144 tx Nvidia drivers for xp

I recently purchased a Pavillion dv6 2144 tx which came with Windows 7 Home Premium. I replaced the 500 gb drive with another drive and installed XP Pro (after much slipstreaming of SATA drivers) and have been able to find most of the other drivers apart from a Video driver for the Nvidia GEFORCE 230M graphics.
I have downloaded and installed all sort of drivers from the Nvidia site but thus far have not had any succes in getting them to load. Invariably end with a message saying that I have the wrong OS - even when using the XP drivers....
Can anyone help?

hi whitehaiku
i have same laptop as yours dv6 1050us
i want to install xp on it , it wont let me
i tried to disable sata from bios but no options for this

NVidia Drivers for F10-100

Can anyone tell me if its possible to update the nvidia drivers for the above model beyond that which is currently listed in the toshiba updates section. Those drivers are quite old now, and I tried downloading the MCE specific drivers from nvidia, but just got a stop notice saying the product was not supported.
Can they be updated at all?
I even tried the XP Pro drivers to no avail.

You can have a look at this page:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
But if you decide to install one of these drivers, you'll have to do it at your own risks. I have personnaly installed version 77.72 on my Qosmio G20-107 and it's working great ! Here are the benchs i have before/after installing them:
Original drivers provided by Toshiba:
Score 3DMARK01 : 14198

CUDA support of nVidia drivers for T61

May be a redundant question, but does the nvidia drivers for T61 available on Lenovo's website contain CUDA support (I know from nVidia's website that nvidia Quadro NVS140M is a CUDA-enabled product)? Just wondering before I go ahead and install the drivers, toolkit and SDK for CUDA on the computer.

The drivers from Microsoft support CUDA and all features of the 570m on Windows 7. I have not tried installing them on Vista, but it should work there too.
No hack or tweaks required. Just download, install, and CUDA works right out of the box. This also boosted my "Experience Index Score" by a few points on Windows 7.
Get them here. You must use IE to access this site.

Try on Vista and let us know.

Wrong nvidia drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

I downloaded nvidia drivers 97.45 but this driver recognizes my GeForce Go 7600 card as NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M. Is there something wrong with the drivers?
At nvco.inf I found that there is only support for the latter card. What is happening?

I wrote here last week but nobody answer me. I have Satellite A100-PSAA9 and driver doesnt work on Windows Vista. It says "This driver compatible with Wista Vista" so I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate also Turkish language. I was thinking maybe problem is Turkish version but I see it is not.
I called Toshiba Turkey customer support but they said "We didnt test yet Vista driver, please bring your laptop here. Maybe we will report this Toshiba Europe and they will release new driver soon". I dont want to bring it anywhere, I want some solution.
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 doesnt work with Windows Vista Ultimate. Nvidia.com on web sites not release yet any GeForce Go Vista Driver. What does it mean?

Installing 186.81 Nvidia Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Laptops 2700M/3700M NVS140M

UPDATE: I removed old 186.03 info and replaced with new driver info. Also I changed the device ID for the 3700m becasue it was not correct. I finally got a w700ds to test it on. Removed pre-edited INF files becsue they are no longer valid.
Here are some instructions on how to get the Nvidia drivers installed instead of waiting for Lenovo to update theirs. I take no responsibility if you break anything. I am a tinkerer and not a expert. It is working fine for me on a w700 with a 2700m. The NVS140M section may not work I have no means to test it. Let me know if you do it and it works fine. This should also technically work for Vista 64-bit.
1. Go tohttp://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_186.81_whql.html and download the drivers.
2. Run the install package. It will fail to install but it will extract the drivers to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.81\International\Display
3. Using the below information to edit the appropriate INF files. Just open them with Notepad. There will be 2 instances of each line you need to replace.
2700M/3700M
Edit the NVBL.INF file.
Search for:
%NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_0539103C
%NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_30EC103C
Replace with:
%NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_212517AA
%NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_211917AA
NVS140M
Edit the NVDM.INF file.
Search for:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_01FE1028
Replace with:
%NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_20D817AA
5. Save the file and run the Setup.exe in the same directory. It should install fine.

To simplify things for NVS 140M users:
Download this file
Replace the copy included with installer in the 'Display' folder
Run setup.exe
This file includes the fix mentioned in the original post, as well as a registry entry for enabling brightness controls, as they didn't work for me with the nVidia drivers.

Update NVIDIA drivers for 9600 GT M?

Hi,
I have a MBP Unibody late 2008 and am trying to update my nvidia drivers in Bootcamp (Win7) but the nvidia site doesn't refer to the cards as 9600 GT, it refers to them as series and I don't know which one is the corresponding one to my card!
Can someone please let me know which to select?
Thanks!
P.S. I have already tried going into the hardware manager and updating the drivers directly there. They appear to update but then games tell me there is an update required from nvidia site.
Cheers!

Hope this helps.

Solaris 10 nvidia drivers for w2100z

Subject says it all really. Does anyone (from within Sun I guess) have an ETA for the Sol 10 nvidia drivers? I think the W2100z is a great machine, but it's a disappointment that we don't yet have proper drivers for its graphics card.

Yes, Solaris 10 provides the Nvidia open source drivers from XFree86/Xorg which work with almost all Nvidia graphics cards. Additionally Sun & Nvidia are working on porting Nvidia's closed source accelerated drivers, and it was recently announced that those should be available in June.

Latest Release 265 Series Nvidia Drivers for Lenovo T61p?

I ran 3DMark06 this evening on my T9300 T61p and got my usual 4460 Benchmark Score .... however, the benchmark's results page today lists a newer Nvidia Quadro FX notebook series driver available for my WinXP 32-bit system directly from Nvidia.
At the Nvidia site it looks like it's Nvidia's Verde Notebook Release 265 Series v266.58 WQHL Certified display driver, released in January 2011, which claims support for notebooks using Quardro FX 570M graphics.
The Nvidia download site is found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
I selected from the Nvidia Menu:
Quadro , then
Quadro FX Series (notebooks) , then
Quardro FX 570M , then
Quardro Graphics Driver , (from a choice of 5 different drivers for different scenarios), then
Windows XP , then
English , then
Search
Anyone tried this driver setup yet?
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

My advice is proceed with caution. Latest drivers aren't always the best option. I'd also read the release notes and see what was done to them. Driver updates are often issued for non-issues and won't make any difference. Here is an example of a ficticous update reason.
Bugfix: driver cause BSOD crash on dell XPS model XXX to YYY when entering hibernation
Such an update would never be picked up by Lenovo because it won't matter to any lenovo computer, and if you constantly update to the latest drivers, you're not avoiding problems, your making yourself little more then a beta tester running new code that could turn out to be unstable.
My motto is... if it's not broke, don't fix it!!!

Windows 7 RTM drivers and native nVidia Drivers for T61p here, supports CUDA

Since this seems scattered, I thought I would post these links to see if they help anyone.
Get your Windows 7 RTM drivers here:

Get your nVidia 570M Windows 7 drivers, supports CUDA, x32 and x64 here:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=nvidia%20quadro%20570M%20Windows%207
I have updated my T61p with all the RTM drivers and have been using this nVidia driver for about 2 weeks. Flawless.
There are many nVidia cards on this Microsoft site, I have only tested the 570M drivers. Feel free to search for your model of driver if you have something else.
My be old news for people, but if it helps anyone, then great.
-Paul

I wasn't aware that Microsoft had this sort of thing available. Now that I installed Microsoft's 570m driver, my NVIDIA Control Panel actually works. I previously did an install by manually selecting the file after downloading and extracting the driver from NVIDIA's website.
On a side note, both the Microsoft site driver and the slightly newer NVIDIA driver give me the same performance index scores (5.8 `graphics` and 6.1 `gaming graphics`) so I would reccomend using the Microsoft one since the Control Panel works with it.

How to install nvidia-drivers for opengl?

I've been struggling with this problem for several days. It's killing me...
My laptop is acer 4743g with a gt 520m graphics card.
I tried bumblebee and nvidia-current and used optirun to run a program but crashed. What is the problem in here?
I want to write opengl programs. Now the opengl version in my laptop is "2.1 Mesa 9.2.0-devel". How can I get nvidia development package to write opengl programs with a higher opengl version?

Hi,
In tcode SPAD, goto "Utilities --> For device types --> Import".
There are specific notes regarding specific manufactures, search the SAP portal for notes in application area BC-CCM-PRN-DVM.
Check SAP Note 8928 for a start.

Blank screen with proprietary nvidia drivers [SOLVED]

I've just installed arch on a new computer, and have encountered an issue- I can't get it running with the proprietary drivers, just nouveau, which is quite the handicap on a GeForce 660.
I used the beginner's guide since my last fresh install was using the arch installation framework. Everything went more or less smoothly, and I booted in to a working system- indeed, I can still boot into it just fine if I chroot in with my install media and swap back to nouveau. If I don't, I get the typical udev boot messages and all, and then it blanks out instead of going to the login prompt. It also does this if I uninstall both nvidia and nouveau drivers.
I've looked at some threads over this, and none of them seemed to apply. I've tried both current and 304 drivers, regenerated initramfs, and blacklisted nouveau.
One last bit of information that may or may not be relevant: at least one of the threads mentioned these issues being related to GRUB, while I'm booting straight from UEFI using efibootmgr- not sure if that could be related in any way.

Hm, I seem to have solved it by blacklisting i915, as suggested in the talk page on nvidia drivers for UEFI users.

Nvidia Drivers

Hey. I was wondering if people recommend using the latest nvidia drivers for my mbp bootcamp with xp? I am currently using the bootcamp drivers from the installation cd, but I am looking to have the latest drivers. Does anyone have experience with using drivers other than those provided by apple? Thanks!

Hi dealbata,
not long ago the only chance to get an updated graphic driver for Mobility products (or Notebooks...) was the manufacturer of that Notebook.
Nvidia or ATI did not release updates for Notebook graphics, but only for Desktop graphic cards.
If you wanted or maybe needed to update the driver to a newer version in order to get a specific program/game to run, you were out of luck.
That's when laptopvideo2go (or the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven for ATI) came up as alternatives.
I used them with my own iMac (with an ATI Mobility X1600 graphics) and found them very stable and easy to use.
That's why I recommend them.
With the Nvidia 8800 GS inside the iMacs it's also just the question, whether the Desktop Driver package from Nvidia supports it or if you have to use either the Beta Mobility package or the 'adapdted' package from laptopvideo2go in order to get the latest drivers.

How do I updated my video drivers for OS X and BootCamp?

I've been searching for the drivers for over an hour now. I downloaded the official drivers from nvidia.com but it wont install them.
Now, where do I find the latest nvidia drivers for my MBP 2009 for OS X and BootCamp?
thanks
Mudd

If you're running 10.5.8 then you have the latest drivers for Leopard. Apple provides drivers for the GPU, there are no standalone downloads. If Software Update says you have no updates, you're set.
and BootCamp?
www.nvidia.com? But bear in mind that these drivers likely aren't tested under Bootcamp, so there is the possibility that you may have issues.
Manually updating device drivers is one of the many things I DON'T miss about Windows and can live without...

Need to compile nvidia driver for a custom kernel [SOLVED]

I compiled a custom kernel following this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source
I can boot into it just fine. I now want to compile an nvidia driver for use with it and followed the steps on this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVI … tom_kernel

Hello,
I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel. I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt. I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts. Can you please take a look? Here is my terminal:

[SOLVED] RT Kernel & Nvidia Drivers

I apologize in advance if this questions has already been answered in the forums. I did search them and read through a lot of posts but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for.
Today is my second day with the outstanding Arch Linux. I was able to get it installed and setup with no problems whatsoever. Today I'm having a little problem. I have the kernel package "kernel26-2.6.30.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" installed along with the "kernel-headers-2.6.30.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" package. I installed the "nvidia-185.18.36-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" package and all is well on the desktop (have OpenGL and everything. I need a RT kernel for Jack & Ardour audio recording. I have installed (kernel26rt-2.6.29.5_rt23-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz, not sure which repo I got that from but I installed it with "pacman"). When I boot that kernel I get some error about not being able to load the nvidia module. I expected that as that's what always happens in other distros. Usually in them I can install the kernel-headers for the RT kernel, reboot and it works then. I can't find the headers for the RT kernel I installed and I'm not sure if it would help if I did.
I guess my question is this: is there a simple ("pacman -S some-rt-kernel" & "pacman -S some-nvidia-rt-something") I can do that I don't know about or am I going to have to get my hands all dirty with ABS and/or AUR and source installing?
I installed the base system, X, a full Gnome desktop with every bell & whistle you can think of with the greatest of ease with "pacman". I just find it hard to believe I can get a RT kernel and Nvidia drivers working the same way.
Anyway, thanks for any help.
Zaephen.
Edit:
I thought I should mention, I just went to "http://repos.archaudio.org/testing/i686/" (the place I think I got my RT kernel, just the x86_64 page) and they have a "nvidia-rt-185.18.14-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz" package in the i686 repo. Doesn't help me on x86_64 though .

A huge thanks to you both!
Taking ugkbunb's advice, I compiled the ice kernel & nvidia-beta. Worked without any problems and I have a RT kernel ! My default kernel no longer works with Nvidia but I expected that. I suppose the easiest way to fix that would be to compile the ice kernel without RT, having a "regular" kernel and a "RT kernel?
Thanks for the help guys. If I can get a regular kernel working with Nvidia support, great, if not, great. With your help I got a RT kernel working and that's a must for audio recording.

It is easy to get your non-rt kernel to work with nvidia... just download the pkgbuild for nvidia-beta... change the name to so it does not conflict... I usually change the name of the RT drivers to nvidia-beta-rt... but since you already have them installed as nvidia-beta... you could change it to nvidia-beta-vanilla or anything really... then edit the `uname -r` line so that it points to the proper kernel... pretty sure it is 2.6.31-ARCH... if that doesn't work... just boot into your vanilla kernel and build the package from there leaving the `uname -r' line as is but making sure to change the package name so it doesn't conflict. Walla! two drivers installed and the proper one will load with each kernel.

Hmm... are you sure you have the RT kernel? Forced preemption? I couldn't build the nvidia drivers on mine.
As for having nvidia drivers for both kernels, its quite simple. Just install nvidia-beta for the main kernel and copy the PKGBUILD (rename the package to nvidia-beta-rt or something like that) and install that on the RT kernel.
Yes I have both the regular Arch kernel and the RT kernel.
This may sound dumb but, can anyone tell me how to distinguish between kernels when I install them like I did the -ice kernel? I have the ice kernel installed as posted above with the RT patch. Now I'm going to try and install another -ice kernel only this time I'm not going to have the RT patch applied. Won't this install over my present -ice kernel if I don't tell it to call it something else? How can I call it something else?
Zaephen.
Yes it will... you will need to edit the package name and as well dig through your kernel config and edit the LOCAL VERSION variable. Why do you want to have 3 kernels installed though?
