2341.0. "Latest video drivers for HiNote Ultra I" by WOTVAX::HILTON (Save Water, drink beer) Tue Mar 18 1997 05:45

    I noticed on the Chips Web site, that they have updated Direct X 3.0
    supported video drivers for Windows95.
    
    Are any of these applicable to the HiNote Ultra I?
    
    The web site is at http://www.chips.com/suppframe.htm
    
    and it has the drivers for 65554, 65550, 65548,  65545, 65540, 65535, 
    64310, 64300, HiQVideo 65554 and HiQVideo 65554 and 65550
    
    Cheers,
    
    Greg

	HiNote Ultra I models used either the 65540 or the 65545.

	So should/could I install these drivers? Would it speed up Win95?

	Not sure you want to do that. I tried it and my screen no longer worked. The PC ran, booted and Windows 95 THOUGHT it was fine, but no display! I had a bear of a time getting the OLD drivers back since I didn't have a backup copy of the old drivers, and C&T removed everything but the latest from their web site. I vote: NO. Leave well enough alone. Direct X3 will have to pass. Mark

	I too had problems, although I did get a display. Everything worked fine unless I wanted to use an MS-DOS window. At that point, the screen looked like it was trying to display on a much larger monitor. This is a NiNote Ultra I CT450.
2341.5	Working drivers on the OSR2 CD	VIVIAN::RANCE	http://vivian.hhl.dec.com/rance/	`Wed Apr 02 1997 04:05`	8
	I too tried these drivers and couldn't use a DOS box afterwards. The chips and technology drivers that ship with Windows95 OSR2 seem to work well. These can be found in the DRIVERS directory on an OSR2 CD. StuartR
