I've updated the modded .inf files accordingly and now the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 should be working again, together with all other pre-9500 Mobility GPUs.

EDIT:

@Major: correct on all areas!

Hm, that is very strange.
I take it the driver installs properly (eg no error messages)?

How do you verify there is no D3D?
Did you run dxdiag tests?

I have run dxdiag and a direct3d screensaver, the screensaver will show a fantastic: "there isn't any direct3d adapter avaible" or something like this. Anyway, i will try to integrate the modded ati driver directly on cd. Maybe it works. I tell you later

EDIT: No it doesn't work. I will integrate the Omegadrivers in winxp installation disc. maybe because the driver doesn't support my graphic card.

Second: If i want to add driver catalyst 6.5 in the directory of the graphics drivers B (for example) in order to install also the CCC 6.5 spanish for the older graphical Cards, and after extracting the driverpack and compressing the files necessary files according to the directory structure, my question is:
Do i have only to add these lines (for example) in the DPsFnshr.ini in order to install CCC 6.5 Spanish.

I know it worked back when I installed on my laptop (don't ask me which DP version that was, I think it was around March) with a Mobility X700.

In any case, you can use the official drivers on virtually any Mobility card using this tool:

I have tried with the application that you have told me, but the problem does persists.
Can someone told me how to enable direct3d for my card?

I think it is better add the driver ati catalyst 6.5 which i think is easier and safer than the modified inf file.

Theoretically, yes, however, people are already complaining about file sizes and this would add another ~20MB or so I'm sure.

Well, I will just add a modified .inf file and not add the driver itself. No WHQL signing then, of course. But at the benefit of the space saved.

Fair enough I'd say.

At least we know the driver has been WHQL-tested so whether it has actually been signed or not is rather secondary (to me, at least).
Or would a Windows Update possibly pefer an older but signed driver and install that over this version?
I know it does not automatically update the drivers but some folks might do it if they don't know the internals...

fu ati, this is not very sportive to kick support for old cards!

While I'd generally agree with the above statement, one has to consider they DID support them for quite some time now.
I've seen HW support being dropped much, much sooner and you cannot expect eternal support for a consumer product (it may look different if these were server cards), esp. in the fast-living 3D sector.

Even if they did update the driver, the question is whether you'd benefit from that at all.
While I still own a AIW Radeon 8500 DV, you can count the amount of modern games that card supports on a single hand, if any.
Which game does NOT require at least PS 2.0 if it's 3D?

And if you only play 2D games then there are hardly any issues with them.

It would still have been very nice of ATi if they just kept the INF entries in the driver packet even if they don't update them anymore as to keep it an all-Radeon unified driver.
Now, you always have to keep backups of the old ones (ok, they still have them on their site).
