jfhall8 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 :unsure: I have a Dell Latitude D610 and beta 1 just won't install on it... wonder why?Files load, and I see the boot screen, but afterwards the screen just goes black and never comes back. :( 586283858[/snapback] The D610 has ability to ship with an X300 PCIe graphics adapter. Per the readme I think this may apply to you, it's not exact but close enough to make one go hmmm: DisplayThis note applies only to Windows "Longhorn," not Windows Server "Longhorn." The graphic device drivers included in Windows "Longhorn" Beta 1 do not support the ATI X700 AGP or X800XL AGP graphics devices. Because the PCI-Express versions of these graphics devices are supported, and the AGP versions have the same device ID, Windows "Longhorn" will attempt to install the PCI-Express version of the driver. This can result in a black display screen on computers with the X700 AGP or the X800XL AGP devices. To work around this problem, start your computer in VGA display mode and install the latest ATI Catalyst XDDM display driver. err maybe not that is AGP --> PCIe not the other way around.

jfhall8 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Continuing the notebook graphics discussion, since I don't have ability to post to betanews yet, anyone else out there able to get full DirectX 9.0c support for the Dell Precision M70? It's adapter is a nVidia QuadroFX 1400 Go PCIe. I am getting DirectX 8.1 when I go to the property sheet of the driver. This is with both the native driver and the updated 77.37 driver. The Dell drivers installed but ended up crashing applet when I accessed it. I am not getting any of the transparent effects :(. This is a pretty hefty card with 256MB video ram. --Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
