Default Re: Mobility radeon driver fix - going from 6 to 152 fps...

this is a common problem in game troubleshooting forums.

What you need to do is install the ati 9000 drivers. Your manufacturer will never update the drivers that came with your laptop. It is the same with the nvidia 2 go I have in mine.

So you manually install the 9000 drivers in control panel. Either through system drivers display, or display advanced adapter drivers. Uninstall and install from this location and click show all etc.

you will lose the power management features. Which are largely useless. When you are gaming you are plugged in most likely.

Ok, indeed these Omega-Drivers boosted the Performance incredibly for my Radeon Mobility 7500 under Windows, and the Battle Graphics run smooth even with the high-quality settings, but I'd rather play the game under Linux, which is the OS that I am mainly using on my laptop.

How do I improve the performance under Linux? The Battle-Graphics are so slow that they are simply not viewable...

Altho I wasn't having any problem with Dominions there were some other games that wouldn't play using the manufacturers drivers and these Omega ones will now let me play those games.
Thanks!
