Good to see this... now mobile gamers can get the benefits of catalyst without the headaches (literally) of messing up the power consumption settings by installing a modded desktop version on their laptops!

Don't forget all the wide screen users! When I modded desktop drivers with the mobility modder i lost all my wide screen resolutions
These new ATI Mobility drivers fix all the above!

So how did you guys install them?
I have a M6N as well. I'd mod them and install but there are no files to mod. I guess it checks the system before downloading them.

Cool stuff! I'll have to be sure I install these on my laptop. I usually have my laptop plugged in, but it's gonna help a lot for the times I use my laptop not plugged in! The darned battery already drains in 1-1/2 hours with light to moderate usage.

As the pic above shows, only x700 and x800 igp's are initially supported. I'm sure in the next month or two ATI will expand support to other models. Nate did indicate however that he was able to get them to install on the x600 igp in his M6N.

i'm running unlocked drivers that ATI sent to us for lab testing. These were able to install on my 9600 Pro without any issues. I'm sure someone will crack or modify these drivers in the future to be "unlocked". As for now the support for mobile platforms is limited, but it will get better.
