Can you use Catalyst drivers on a Radeon 7500 that is in a notebook?

[mitchafi]

If not what drivers do you use...ATI does not offer them on their support page.

Use the cats.

Generally speaking - no - unless you run some 3rd party ware to make it compatible.

 

[mitchafi]

ugh...so....is there any definitive answer?

You can use the cats. The drivers are compatible with all Radeons.

You can use the cats but not the stock ones... if you use something that mods the drivers so they accept mobile Radeon's. I recommend Mobile mod. which can be found in the mobile radeon forum over at rage3d GL, it works on my Mobile Radeon 9000.

Word I've gotten for mobility drivers is that you get them from the notebook manufacturer.

Catalyst does not support notebook graphics, try the
Omega Drivers

I recommend mobile mod 4 from www.rage3d.com. Just download the latest cat drivers, run it, it will extract to folder but quit do to lack of "required hardware". Then use mobile mod to find the driver ini file amongst the extracted stuff and patch it. It will make a new ini file in the same folder. Then use windows device manager to update the video driver with the new ini file. Then if you want ati control panel, its in the extracted folder and look for it and run the setup.exe. Reboot and your done.

Catalyst Drivers from ATI.com do support notebook graphics with a 3rd party program that will modify them to allow the use

Yep

btw you can use winrar to extract the files from the exe to a folder without having to run the exe!
