HydraVision

Question

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.

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.

Rance, Thank you for clearing this up.. but nevertheless I would appreciate drivers which has more features...   Kind regards, Flokky

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

And where did you get those drivers?? Thanks for your reply.   Greetz Flokky

I install the HydraVision 2 week ago, havn't any warning. My driver is the leaked 6200 driver, not the catalyst 2.4 2600c.

hi,

I just received my inspiron 600m and it looks ok, I liked it.. one question does anyone know if it's ok to download and run HydraVision from ati's page.. I really need it because of the "always on top" selection (I do not really need other options though)..

Are there anyone installed this?? negative positive comments?? any thoughts??

I have 9000m radeon 32mb video card on it.
