Compal EL80 tunning and upgrading. (Ahtec), but the Everest says. What about WXGA+, I reckon I could fit the FL90+ panels onto the EL80? Would I here too run.

I have a two and a half year old IFL90. The 8600 crashed a couple of weeks ago and I have replaced it with a HD3650 512MB DDR2. The graphics card seems to work ok, but I am unable to install any driver for it.

I tried it first on Windows XP SP3. On the device manager the card appears just as a VGA compatible card, and it doesn't recognize the vendor, or anyhting. I have tried to install original ATI drivers, Acer drivers (the card has an Acer vbios), and modded drivers, but they don't work.

The Bios of the laptop was quiet old, and I have updated it to check if that was the problem, but the drivers keep failing. On Windows 7, the default microsoft drivers identifies the card as an ATI HD3650, but again, I cannot install ATI drivers to get 3D acceleration.

Any on hint on what could be the problem? Thanks in advance. I'm new on this forum so hello everyone I've been using Compal FL90 for over 3 years now. Yesterday my 8600M GT died (suprise!).

Used the famous 'baking oven' trick, but it's only delaying the inevitable. Was wondering about options to replace the GT. Obiously, HD3650 is one, but I was thinking of getting HD4650 (someone posted link to german store that can provide those -> I believe). So my question is, will the change be more or less painless like with 3650 or will I need to fiddle with changing bioses and such? Has anyone tried it yet (I know those cards are hard to get hands on).

Getting 8600M again is not an option ofcourse. Also, I know that ATI has poor drivers for linux, and since I'm using Linux as my only OS, is that true for 3650/4650 series. I know ATI can be real pain in the with trying to make it work (I had huge problems with X800Pro in my stationary pc to make it work with direct rendering under Linux).

Thanks for all the replies in advance.
