hi
I am looking at it, and will look wether grafics B needs an update with addition or just an update with edit.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

I hope you have hardware you can test this on, and we would VERY much like to get feedback about the tests.

NOTES
in this new intel driver version, support for some older chips, still supported in the previous release, was dropped.

I have tried to keep support for the 910, 915 and 915 mobile versions, have therefore edited INF, and repacked.

what to test.
Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family, Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
and "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" (the new devices)

I tried to keep support for
%iGDGD0% = i915G0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2582
%iGDGD1% = i915G1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2782
%iALVD0% = i915GM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2592
%iALVD1% = i915GM1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2792
they are..
iGDGD0    = "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family"
iGDGD1    = "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family"
iALVD0    = "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family"
iALVD1    = "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family"

NEW devices, not supported by the older version were these

%iCRGD0% = iCRG0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A02
%iCRGD1% = iCRG1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A03
they are
iCRGD0    = "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family"
iCRGD1    = "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family"

(editing the INF could break things.. I think I did it right, tho. The other option was to have a duplicate with newer drivers, overlapping the older one, for benefit of the newer hardware.)
I will update this post once the upload finishes

THIS IS A TEST VERSION.

I put it on rapidshare, I am not sure you will be able to get the nightly..

These drivers do NOT support the 915 and older graphics. These are for the GMA 950, 3000, and x3000 drivers. What is a real let down is that these are supposed to enable hardware T&L on the x3000 but that has been pushed back by intel.

Re: [IMPLEMENTED] New Intel video drivers for 9XX chipsets v14.27.0.4785

has anyone else tested this on "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family" and  "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family" ??

it would have been nice had it worked sad

fragbert??
did you test the test pack I put on rapidshare?

(I ask cuz your post says these drivers, and I cannot figure out wether you tested the nightly.)

Re: [IMPLEMENTED] New Intel video drivers for 9XX chipsets v14.27.0.4785

OK used your nightly build linked above on a D915GAV retail board (915G chipset). The driver that installed is dated from 2005! v6.14.10.4396

I see that you modified the igxp32.inf in folder 1 of D\G\I to accomodate for 910/915 support, however folder 2  and 3 have a driver/inf for 910/915 as well, and XP chose one of those instead.

I extracted folder 1 and manually tried to update the driver myself and I get an error stating this driver does not support windows XP. Heh.

The last unified driver that supports the 910/915 is 14.25.50 here http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts … p;lang=eng

Now, I did a little trick and copied the inf from 14.25.50 over the inf of 14.27.04785 and that trick worked!

I'll have a look

the way you did that, erm, what about the newer HWIDs?

I have a new INI/INF I would like to upload to you, but, no adress

can you hit mine?

Sure, give me an address. As far as the newer HWIDs go, they dont apply here since I'm dealing with 915G, right?

Message sent.

I think it will be the fastest if you just upload the inf somewhere or copy paste it here. Thanks.
