Vista and ATI mobilit now works! :D

I was bummed out and almost depressed when my ati mobility X2300 (really X1300) didn't work with SL along with Vista. The standard openGL error everyone keep getting. openGL is not supported on the mobility drivers. These drivers are distributed by all the laptop manufacturers, NOT ati. Therefor not all the drivers support openGL.
After hours and hours of googling, support tickets etc etc I came across the holy grail, fountain of youth, .. you get the drift. Vista + ATI + SL = WORKAGE!

There is that fixes the problem mentioned above. Download the stationary card ati drivers for your respective vista (32 or 64 bit) at http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html. Just pick a normal card. They all use the same driver I think.
Extract the driver but DO NOT INSTALL YET.
Make sure you have MSXML 4.0 from Microsoft.

If you have windows update running, you SHOULD already have it.
Download this mod tool: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/MobilityDotNET2.zip
Turn off UAC in the control panel -> User accounts and Family Safety -> User accounts -> Turn user account control on or off
Make sure it's off. Then reboot as prompted.

Now unzip (if you havn't already) the modification tool and run the app called MobilityDotNet. Point the browse at the unpackaged driver. Should be in C:/ATI/SUPPORT/drivername
For example: C:/ATI/SUPPORT/7-7_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_49713 for the 7.7 catalyst

Click modify, and let it work a while.
Then go to the driver directory. Click the subdir Driver, and execute Setup(.exe)
Install/Update as normal. Reboot.

Launch Second Life and be amazed

I found this at the ASUS forums, which again links to http://driverheaven.net/modtool/

It works for me. The FPS may not be the best, but atleast it works right? Better than nothing!

bet you it will stop working on next update : p

Why's that? This fixes all the current ati drivers. NOT SL. It fixes the graphics card driver itself. It was created before the 7.7 version I think, and it modified it easily. So there's no reason for it to not work on the next SL update.

Note that this only fixes the ATI Radeon Mobility problems. For other ATI cards, try just updating to the 7.7 driver. This fix only modifies it to fit the mobility cards. Sorry Nvidia guys... can't help you on this one..
