Getting an x1950 AGP running on a KT400-based mobo
I'm struggling and currently failing to get an x1950Pro running on a Via
KT400-based motherboard (an A7V8X). This is under WinXP SP3. The combination runs an x800 XT PE fine with the Cat 7.2 drivers - but although it will install any ATI driver seemingly OK, I end up with either no D3D acceleration, no AGP capability, crashes in the SMARTGART testing on re-boot, missing desktop icons or display stuck at 640x480x4-bit, or any combination of the above. I've tried the latest 9.11 "legacy" drivers, Cat 7.2, Cat 7.12 and Omega drivers based upon Cat 7.12. :-( Any suggestions of BIOS settings, driver version etc. to try to attempt to get this combination running? I'm assured the card is a good'un, but have no other machine to test it it. PSU is an Enermax 400W, which runs the X800 XT PE fine, and that and the 1950Pro have very similar power requirements. Thanks for any help. Ian -- Ian Riches Bedford, UK |

Thanks for any help. Ian You really should install this, then reinstall the drivers for your video card. The Hyperion drivers have drivers that support the KT400 chipset and are needed for proper AGP functioning. http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_H...nPro_V524A.zip OS Supported: Windows Server 2003 x64, Windows Vista 32-Bit, Windows Vista 64-Bit, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows XP 64-Bit, Windows 98SE, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT Notes: Version 5.24A of the Hyperion Pro drivers includes the following components: INF V3.10A, AGP V4.60A, V-RAID V5.80F and RAID Tools v5.85, VIA IDE Falcon Storage Device driver v2.80A. VIA Hyperion Pro drivers are suitable for ANY VIA chipset - but they are particularly recommended for KT4## series, P4X4## series and newer, for example: K7 chipsets: KT400, KT400A, KT600, KT880, KM400, KN400 K8 chipsets: K8T800, K8T800Pro, K8M800, K8M890, K8N800, K8N890, K8T890, K8T890Pro, K8T900 P4 chipsets: P4X400, P4X400A, PT800, PT880, PM800, PN800, PM880, PN880, PT880Pro, PT894, P4M800/Pro/CE, P4M900, PT890 C Series Chipsets: CN700, CN400, CLE266, CX700,CX700M, CX700M2, CN800, CN896 V Series Chipsets: VN800, VN896, VX700, VX800, VX800UT, VX820, VX820UT, VX855 |

Tried again last night with no success. Tried to bypass SMARTGART by installing the drivers via the directly from Windows rather than by running the ATI .ese file. Got endless "Monitor signal out of range" messages displayed on my TFT. Oh well. Ian -- Ian Riches Bedford, UK |
