Portege R600-10T display driver update query
Posted: 26-Jan-2012 14:53

Hi

I'm looking for the latest display driver update for my Portege R600-10T (to see if it'll let me set 1440x900@75).
Went to the relevant page on the uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com, and it showed the following:

30/06/09 | Display Driver | Intel | Windows Vista 32 Bit | 15.9.9.1527 | World Wide

When I checked the full info, it showed the following:

FTP-URL display-20081117151809.zip
Date last modified 06/30/09
Company Intel
Type Display Driver
Subtype (none)
Size (Kb) 19568
Version 15.9.9.1527
Language Universal
Country World Wide
Description This driver enhances the functionality of your display device and allows you to perform different settings, such as Color Management, Monitor Properties or Overlay Control. You can also get help if you have any display related troubleshooting issues.
Model Portege R600, Portege A600
Operating System Windows Vista 32 Bit

When I download the file, it is indeed called display-20081117151809.zip
When I install it, it's version 7.15.10.1527 with a date of 11/07/2008

I'm sure I've selected the right OS, and I tried several different routes to get to the downloadable file, including letting it auto-detect my system. Same result.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something..? Where's version 15.9.9.1527 of the display driver?

Thanks

Ah, I did indeed miss something... I've just spotted where the version confusion comes from:

Production Version Releases

Microsoft Windows Vista*
Driver Revision: PV 15.9.9.1527
Package: 52084
Graphics: 7.14.10.1527
HDMI Audio: 6.10.0.2060
July 16, 2008

I'd still be interested to know though - is there any way to get my Portege to allow 1440x900@75? I've tried using PowerStrip to add a 1440x900 LCD setting, but it's just not having it (and I don't know enough of the little settings to work out how to tweak it for my LCD).

Thanks

Hi

The last modified data means the time when this driver package has been uploaded to the server. Therefore there is a different date.

By the way: the latest driver you can get from Intel page.
I’ve got an notebook with Intel GPU and I use the driver from Intel page.

By the way: the display resolution depends on the graphic chip and the internal display.
If the display does not support you favorite resolution, then you will not be able to choose this

Thanks for replying.

That makes sense about the date. And it looks like I had the latest version after all.

I started my search on the Intel site, and though they have a driver (which implies the graphics chip can handle 1440x900), it won't install. When I run setup I get a message saying that it won't run on this machine and then aborts - no other options (I can redownload and rerun if you want the exact text).

I also tried using Intel's 'check my system' tool to see what it came up with, with the following result:

Product Detected Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Current Driver Installed 7.15.10.1527
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Which is what brought me to the Toshiba site in the first place.

I'm reluctant to override advice that warns of 'technical issues' (and tbh not quite sure how, short of removing existing drivers so the install doesn't detect them and abort - assuming that's the only things stopping it). If someone has exactly the same model Portege/OS as me and has gone down this route without problem, that would be useful to know. Drivers are such pernickety things!

Thanks

PS - the LCD I've hooked up has PC in and supports 1440x900@75. I can use it as is, just everything is stretched and a bit blurred as a result, and I can't stop it going widescreen on me - the TV isn't that sophisticated!

The Intel driver can be installed via device manager!
Here you have to use advanced installation procedure which would allow you to choose the folder which contains the downloaded driver files.

I changed the external screen resolution in Intel graphics media.
This Intel graphics media menu can be found in control panel.
