    No drivers for ATI x800?


    Ive previously installed windows 7 when it was first released to the public. But it didn't work with my card. SO i continued to use windows vista. Now i was wondering if this latest version of windows 7 would support x800 series.

    I already posted my complaint about the old build HERE , now i just want to check if there are any updates.

    What im asking is when i go to Graphics Drivers & Software

    Windows 7 does not support x800 still. Does this mean it wont work with this card?
    Ive tried the betas of 7 (first beta) but not the newest RC build. Before downloading this build i was wondering if it would work with my card, because before it did not .

    All this means is that there is no 7 driver for your card, Did you try to install the Vista driver that works with your card In Windows 7?

    Can I just confirm (as I messed about trying to get my card to work all yesterday - and ended up reverting back to XP haha.)

    If I grab the vista 9.1 catalyst driver, it will work in Windows 7 RC1 with my X800XT? or is the x800 that much different to the X800XT it wont work?

    Also, will I have dual monitors / be able to extend onto my TV?

    Any info appreciated :)

    It should do, though I can't promise anything. It seems to be the only reliable driver for 'old' ati cards, and looking at the inf the x800 is listed.
    Code:
    "RADEON X800 PRO/GTO" = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A49
"RADEON X800 PRO/GTO Secondary" = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A69
"RADEON X800 Series" = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A4B
"RADEON X800 Series " = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A50
"RADEON X800 Series  " = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5549
"RADEON X800 Series   " = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A4A
"RADEON X800 Series    " = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_554F
"RADEON X800 Series     " = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_554D
"RADEON X800 Series      " = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_554E
"RADEON X800 Series - Secondary" = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_556D
"RADEON X800 Series -Secondary" = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_556F
"RADEON X800 Series Secondary" = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A6B
"RADEON X800 Series Secondary " = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A70
"RADEON X800 Series Secondary  " = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5569
"RADEON X800 Series Secondary   " = ati2mtag_R420, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4A6A
"RADEON X800 Series Secondary    " = ati2mtag_R430, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_556E
"RADEON X800 XT" = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5D57
"RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition" = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_554A
"RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition Secondary" = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_556A
"RADEON X800 XT Secondary" = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5D77
"RADEON X800/X850 Series" = ati2mtag_R480, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5D4F
"RADEON X800/X850 Series - Secondary" = ati2mtag_R480, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5D6F
"RADEON X800GT " = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_554B
"RADEON X800GT Secondary " = ati2mtag_R423, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_556B
    Some people have had success upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2, but it didn't work for my x1950pro.
