@dsi.
That screenshot is misleading. You took a picture of your desktop with software. That will not work. Since the Image itself is 800x600 it isn't showing any scaling. You will have to retake the picture with digital camera to show people how the 800x600 desktop shows up on the 800x480 display.

Yeah, I just realized the picture was misleading..
hmm.. better get a decent photo with my camera then.

I"m getting the error, "Please insert the Compact Disc labeled 'Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver' into your CD-ROM drive (D
and press OK." when I try to install the new driver.
I've tried using my XP cdrom and the cd that came with the EEE but neither work. It seems to be looking for igxpmp32.sys in particular.

I did - the folder doesn't contain that particular file.

Hi,
I have a question, this driver could it damage the screen after a long time of utilisation? if no why Asus doesn't make it? 
Thanks,
Good afternoon

I gave it a try, and i was pretty impressed, but still, i re-installed the old drivers, as i'm waiting for more improvemend

Has anyone with the 8804 BIOS set to 900Mhz tried the new driver yet? I'm curious if it alleviates the video problem users reported with that BIOS.
It works great with 8804. It even fixes the faint wavy line problem which was the main issue with 8804. I had to reflash it to 0401 and back to 8804 to get OSD working again.
I haven't tested with any games except Second Life, which doesn't run (reports driver not supported, with official Intel drivers this was the issue when "driver memory footprint" was set to anything other than "normal").

wow finally, gta 3 works! anyone tried Halo yet? it ran okayih in normal settings. mabye it would work better at 640 by 480?
Offline
I just have to say i really like this project and i will definitly try the drivers as soon as my eee arives (in before the coming weekend i hope).
I think ill be using 1024x768 for desktop and stretched 640x480 for gaming if the games i play dont support the native resolution.
Keep up the good work

this looks cool, tag for after work.

@ziddan
In fact im pretty sure you gonna use the 1024x768 only for applications like photoshop. For exemple suurfing (and reading) this forum at this resolution its pretty impossible for more than few minutes.
Working on photoshop is good by the why, assuming you know the shortcuts

Yeah, same here.. the wavy lines disappeared! However, the screen brightness shortcut (F3/F4) did not work until I went to 0401 and then back to 8804. So now it's fine.
In addition, GTA 3 works much better at 8804 with the 100 MHz bus speed!! With 0401 it was kind of choppy during gameplay.
Only issue right now is the standby thing, or when I let the screen turn off after a set amount of time. But I can live without that for now!
Great job

But if we switch to such 800x600 or 1024x767 doesn't it switch too the aspect ratio (eee is not 4:3) ???
images so are unreal?
ciao

Yes it does, look at my pictures: the desktop looks fat.

I kept both sets of drivers installed -- all I did was update driver for the gma when I want to play games and then restart so I have everything working nice in fullscreen. Then when I'm done, I just update back to the intel drivers and everything is perfect...
Thanks for these drivers--- now I can play starcraft and CS in peace

hmmm...AOE2 doesn't wanna work since its a DirectDraw driver and it needs Direct3D (or maybe its the other way around). that makes me say wtf because UT works just fine. hmmmm
Offline
Mmm XP seems to boot slower and now i just cant boot. White screen after xp's loading. F8 for safe mode and back to "old" drivers.
Thinks i will use the skantzoheiro method.

the video never comes back after it wakes from sleep with these drivers
but the computer is still working, i can hear the applications and sounds.

Yes I can play Age of Empires, Works Fine. This solved the problem.

It occured to me to test this, but I'm too tired to go through it right now so I need someone else to do it and report back.
LT said that the correct widescreen drivers weren't showing up in the GUI; has anyone tried to see if they show up by forcing Windows to show resolutions the device doesn't officially support?
right click on your desktop, properties > settings > advanced > monitor and uncheck "hide modes this monitor cannot display."
then hit okay to everything, see if thee previously hidden widescreen resolutions are available now without the scrolling or squish-scaling.

Isn't that "hide modes" option for refresh rate? It's grayed out so I am unable to change it. It's currently unchecked and grayed out actually.
