Requiem Report post Posted December 29, 2006 ok, i got a new laptop, its a Dell inspiron 1501. pretty nice, runs alot better than my old Dell, and can even play 'rome: total war' almost totally smooth. anyway, i installed EL, but right after logging in the EL screen went black, and said 1 FPS...then my computer screen went black, a few seconds later it went back to normal but EL was still black and said 37 FPS (same each time i tried), than my computer screen went a few different shades of black and flickered. after that it just stays black and all i can do is turn it off. ctrl+alt+del dosnt do any thing either. i run windows XP media addition, but i think it might be my processor. its an AMD sempron mobile processor. also a wide screen. also got a ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics card any ideas how to correct this? ~1st P.S. it did this both before and after the update Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 29, 2006 Download the Omega drivers for ATI. P.S. On the other hand, I think other players also reported problems with this particular card. I have no idea why though.. You can try to contact ATI... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Requiem Report post Posted December 29, 2006 right, thanks...i will try that! its a very fussy graphics card, some things it will run great on and some things it just wont do ~1st Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 29, 2006 Are there other programs that don't work with that card? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElNinho Report post Posted December 30, 2006 Are there other programs that don't work with that card? AFAIK ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 is not graphic card but chipset for AMD Notebooks. Integrated graphics core is ATI Radeon™ X300 with clock speed of 400MHz (for ATI Radeon Xpress 1150). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Requiem Report post Posted December 30, 2006 ok, before downloading the Omega drivers, i tried changeing some stuff on EL.ini...didnt help, so i changed it back and downloaded and installed the omega drivers...still didnt help, then i went back to EL.ini and set virtually everything graphics wise to zero and now i can play again. so Omega drivers+EL.ini worked as for other programs not working, im testing that right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
