ATI FireGL V5200 driver for Windows 7

[elksa]

Hi everybody.
I have a HP Compaq NW8440 laptop with ATI FireGL V5200 video card, my problem is that when I try to install Windows 7 it doesn´t recognize my video card, I looked for it in www.hp.com, but there are no drivers for Windows 7, I had nothing in amd.com either. 🙁
So...does anybody knows how to fix this problem or where can i get the ATI FireGl V5200 driver for Windows 7???
Thanks a lot.

I'm unfamiliar with drivers and such for professional grade GPU's. However, your best bet would be to contact ATI's support (they are pretty quick at writing back) and see what they have to say on the matter.

since it is based on the mobility x1600, you are going to have to download the vista drivers and hope they work (as that is what i had to do with my laptop with the x1600 mobility)

That´s the problem, I already have Vista drivers and they don´t work with Windows 7.

well you are kind of stuck with Vista then, unless someone can find the driver for it (i doubt it is out there)

I use Mobility Modder on Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius H240 (ATI FireGL V5200, Win7 x64). Works perfect but i didn't test it with games.
