HydraVision

Hi all,

I have a ATI Radeon 9000, but I think this driver isn't worth much.  I would like to use HydraVision which enables to use multiple screens and other powerfull things like switching easy from screen A to B and virsa versa.

When are these drivers available for the Inspiron 8200?

Why was my previous Inspiron 8200 with a Nvidia equiped with better software? (There I could choose which window could be opened in which screen)

Thank you for clearing this up.

Greetz

    Flokky:

    Unfortunately Dell doesn't support use of the ATI HydraVision software with our portable systems using the ATI Radeon 9000. I apologize for this inconvenience.

    Flokky:

    I agree that it would be a nice feature (I use it on my desktop PC). If enough customers ask for it, there's always the possibility.

    Hi,

    I have an Inspiron8200 2.2 ATI M9000

    I just downloaded hydravision applet       http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/misc/hydravision3-00-120.html

    and it works a treat, the only thing that I have noticed strange is on bootup I get a warning that an ati driver isn't loaded and I just click reset and it then I have full control over multi desk etc.

     

    regards John

    Snadge,

    Yes, I've tried that too.  I've got the same warning on start up.  I would rather like that my driver doesn't give any warnings on start up though.

    I hope other Dell Customers will 'complain' and hopefully this feature - which is very handy - will be included in the next ATI M9000 drivers.

    Thank you for your 'investigation'

    Hi Flokky,

    the only reason it gives a warning is due to hydravision loading it's applet before the ati drivers, clicking reset just initializes the hydravison applet after the video driver is initialized.

     

    hope this helps

    I install the HydraVision 2 week ago, havn't any warning.

    My driver is the leaked 6200 driver, not the catalyst 2.4 2600c.
