Radeon Mobility 9000 IGP driver for 7?

[KazeNoKoe23]

Hey all. I recently upgraded a friend's old laptop (Toshiba Satellite A70) to Win7, but there are no drivers available for his graphics chip/card. Does anybody know where I might find one and how to properly install it?

I'm aware that the 9000 series only supports up to DX8.1 and thus can't run Aero, but that's not a big deal. I merely want the capability to run the machine at its native resolution without having "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" listed in Device Manager.

I heard it's actually easier to install an XDDM driver in Vista so I may yet try that, but if possible, I'd like to get this thing running properly in 7 first before I try that. Thanks.

Best you're going to get for something that old is the last XP driver. And seeing as it is a laptop and a Toshiba at that, you're stuck with whatever one that Toshiba has available as the last reference ATI XP driver will not install on it.

stormy is right, to avoid the headaches i would install xp.

I'd give Linux a shot too.
