Vista - NVIDIA FX Go 5200 drivers

Anyone been able to get the NVIDIA FX Go 5200 working on a Toshiba
laptop?

I've been to several sites, tried several hacks, etc... The laptop is
still a powerhouse, but there is just nothing for Vista Drivers.

TIA.

What laptop? What Toshiba model?

According to:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html
you are out of luck, but if you have not done so, you can test your Go 5200
for Vista compatibility using the "Analyze Your PC" link on the page to make
sure.

Since nothing earlier than a Go 6100/6150 is listed under Notebooks, it
appears that you will not get Aero using a Go 5200 adaptor.

Whether or not Toshiba has any Vista drivers is something you have to
investigate on Toshiba's website. There will not be another source.

See http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/.
Download both the driver you choose and the modified inf file for it and
replace the inf in the extracted driver file. The basic driver is a desktop
driver and you will need the modified inf file for it to be able to install
on a laptop.

about 20 different drivers.

dcp@xxxxxx says...Yep, done at least 20 drivers and inf from that site, the best I can get
is standard vga resolutions, nothing worked.

Guess it's time for a new laptop.

Actually you do see that when an app that could have a ugly impact on the
display is running. Windows shuts down Aero until the app exits. You then
get an XP-style rendering of the desktop and its apps.

Rendering the desktop in the gpu and releiveing the cpu of that sort of task
does make a difference even when Aero is not in play.
