    i would not suggest using 10.2 legacy drivers they have a lot of issues with open gl based games. many people suggest using 8.9 or lower to get back better open gl
    here is a recent example

    That link doesn't work and I used the OpenGL files from 10.2 in my nodded 13.4 driver to make a Steam game, namely the original Half-Life, work.

    I have a slight bug in my CCC with my driver combo. I don''t see a "my digital flat panels" tab so I am unable to change my scaling.

    I usually force to full screen instead of keeping the aspect ratio. Any way to chnage the scaling without CCC?

    Sure the 10.2's have issues too, but for the DirectX 9 cards its the latest and greatest we have out there with all its technological improvements.
    First try a combination that works on your system before getting too picky about what driver files to use.
    I always insist on using a combined set of driver files from various source packages to get the best performance for your system, but that is for advanced users who know what they are doing. After doing some research you should find a set of driver files that work well on your system.
    Your computer's manufacturer files are also worth trying.

    The link you posted is dead, can't access the steam forum.

    i doubt any driver after 10.2 supports legacy dx9 cards specially x1xxx series . the catalyst might work but 10.2 is the last, strange that you cant see the steam link i provided , it opens here , any linking mistake i have made ? not sure

    The link was for duke nukem megaton steam forums , apparently anyone using 10.2 legacy drivers cant see in game crosshairs, fix is to go below 10.2, problem is going below 9.3 breaks windows aero support.

    @AmiloM
    can you help me also get mobility x1400 package aka 13.8 Beta + 10.2 legacy base drivers ? i tried using your software but cant get windows to accept the driver.

    Dell has not provided any support for windows 7 so their x32 vista from 2008 driver wont work :bang:
    i used to use ati catalyst modder to test all packages from catalyst 8.9 to 10.2. Only catalyst 9.3 and legacy catalyst 10.2 have worked perfectly with full aero support for my ati mobility x1400.

    My thanks you folks trying to still help us users stuck with x1xxx series cards on our laptops

    Hey there, Yep Kevs drivers are really good, he put in alot of work in those drivers... by the way FYI he is our resident professor when it comes to drivers ;)
    Unfortunately the drivers after 10.2 don't work on DX9 cards, there are no drivers after 10.2 for Dx9 cards, that is why I got sick and tired of being sick and tired and made FLEM :)

    I recommend you use the 13.6 Beta 2 drivers, they are really good, please get at least one _MOD variation to work on your system before going into complex stuff. No fear... I will guide you.:)

    That's true, I know his work very well.....I'm still with his 11.12 Hybridized R13 UV 2 Final Vista Win7 x64 OS on my 4850 !!

    Sorry, I didin't know that.....who knows if he can do something for you guys......try sending a private message, it's a lot of time that he is not on the forum for changing house and problems with the new internet connection....

    Thanks for the suggestion, actually the DX9 cards are pretty much covered by FLEM. The last time I checked no one bothered with DX9 cards... too many headaches.

    I tried that one now and it failed , it just wont recognize the driver , i am not sure what i am doing wrong i select all the require files from 10.2 legacy for 13
    disabled driver enforcement, used the proper x64 files, also i get this error always.

    You're using a mobility driver version. Try using the regular one.

    Don't use the mobility version, always MOD with the desktop version. Selecting the 7 files from the left of the cocktailmaker only is enough to MOD your driver.The files till the green dotted line.
    The error you are getting is because you are trying to MOD the same package with itself, some files are from the same package you are trying to modify:infinity:

    Lmao :bang: alright will retry it again , thought mobility version would fit in better since this is a mobility card , will download the desktop version and will get it right this time.

    I DID IT , it worked perfectly , will test out a few games and let you know how this is now compared to the 10.2 i was stuck with since years
