FE11S Video driver update

[ocatarineta]

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's any way to update the video driver for the 7400Go of my Fe11S.
The last posted by Sony is a 2006 driver (what a great support, Sony!), and I have many issues, mainly with the Adobe CS4 suite using a dual monitor configuration.

Any idea?

Thank you

Hi ocatarineta,

At your own risk you could try using a driver from LaptopVideo2Go, use the following link to view the list of drivers: LaptopVideo2Go

You will need to install a modded .inf, click the following for more info on: What is a modded INF?

Thank you for the suggestion,
I already tried this way but it's not 100% functional: es. you loose brightness control.

You're welcome, unfortunately that's the best we can offer as it's unlikely that Sony will release an update for your Vaio..

I know, this is the kind of reason why here at work we are no longer buying Sony.

Thank you anyway for your good and kind suggestion.

I think the driver version 174.74 was the last version to be customised for Vaio Go 7400 and installs without a modified .inf - direct from an .exe file.

You will have to copy and paste the whole link to go direct to the correct page.

May be worth a try?

Hello,
thank you for the tip.
I did already try this, following what found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=195238

Unfortunately this doesn't work on my laptop (maybe I miss something).

I'm wondering why Sony continues to make users not to be able to use generic drivers, since drivers support from sony is so poor...

???

Thank you again!!!
