OK, chud,
I looked at the Dell drivers for the GX260 & GX270 and the Dell drivers are worse than the Intel drivers.
The Dell driver .inf references a .cat file that doesn't exist:
CatalogFile=igfxnt5.cat

So the Dell drivers aren't even signed.

I'm all out of ideas on your problem.

Can you remember which of the test DriverPacks you tried that actually worked?

It sux in my opinion.
I'm just waiting for the other shoe to fall on RyanVM.  I hope they just leave us alone.

Hah!  Sometimes I do my best work when I'm drunk! 

Seriously though, I'm uploading G_B 7.08test2 (Via updates) right now.  It'll be done in about 15-min if you want to download that test DP.

Oh yeah baby! 
I should have named this RC1.

First post updated.

Yes, but it can be renamed anything as long as it follows the 8.3 format AND is named DP******.7z(i.e. dpga708.7z).  This is providing you integrated using method 2 (which justs renames the .7z DriverPacks and moves them).  AFAIK, method 1 integration will decompress the DriverPacks and make different entries so it's not so simple.

Method 2 is the recommended method except for certain circumstances.

As for deleting the 'D' folder, once the computer boots to the desktop, if the finisher cannot delete the folder (for whatever reason), it makes a registry entry to delete the folder on the next restart.  You can see this step by reading the DPfinisher log in C:\Windows\

*Edit.
changed naming format (thanks Jaak).  Ooops.

Woohoo!  Thanks for the report.  Looks like an RC to me!  All we need now is a successful test on:
ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2x00 series
ATI RADEON XPRESS series

Anyone want to step up to the plate and give a swing?

@chud, I'm working on the Intel drivers in G_B, Jaak already had a go with his updates to 7.07test, I'm amazed at the HWID overlap between the driversets.
In order to preserve the driver-signing, I'm going to leave the HWID overlap as-is since XP PnP should be able to cope at T-34 and we don't have to do anything freaky with the DPfinisher.

That is EXACTLY what we do.
The nv4_disp.inf is unmodified from what nvidia includes with their installer.  We don't change anything.  The nv4_go.inf (created by laptopvideo2go.com) is a modified version of the nv4_disp.inf to support mobile chips as well as some desktop HWIDS not supported by the factory .inf.

What you're finding are errors created by nvidia that they're not catching prior to release.  If we need to, we can roll-back the nvidia drivers back to 94.24 (stable). 
The point of the test/nightly releases is to find what works and what doesn't.

G_A 7.08 test 3 had a short life.
