Updated driver for AMD APU (Radeon HD 6410D)?
Calamity:
Hi caskad,
Those are good news indeed. So the problem is not specific to the Catalyst version, but the ATI videocard family.
I've just ordered a HD 6450 card for testing purposes.
Thanks a lot for your tests (both of you).

Just forget about one thing:
Ddraw working with magic resolution in this case !

Just another update...the registry setting was ignored and windows still went into safe mode with the arcade monitor plugged in. I was never able to get any 15khz resolutions to work with the 6000 series card.
I disabled the 6410, plugged in a 4650 card and got the crt emu driver installed and am able to get 15khz resolutions now. However, I think there is some lingering junk from the previous install because 320x240 and 400x300 and many more are the fake non-15khz VGA resolutions. I also only have 4 1234x resolutions. What is the best way to start from scratch with the crt emu driver? I didn't even have an ATI driver to remove in add/remove programs (maybe because it's part of the APU?).
caskad:
I will setup my config on xp 64 bits too, but with just crt emu, works fine at the moment :)
Rumor are talking about a boost Fps speed in x64 !
Hope this true ! :cheers:

Sometimes it's hard to tell which driver version is actually active, and even if our custom driver is being used at all. Sometimes Windows silently picks another version of the driver that it has around thinking it's newer or whatever. I wish this was better designed but that's how it is, from my experience.
There are two clues to conclude CRT_Emudriver is active, without doubts:
- The driver accepts more than 60 custom video modes.
- 320x and 400x *custom* resolutions are not doublescanned.
However, the fact that you're seeing some 320x and 400x 31 KHz resolutions is completely normal, as they are part of the native set of resolutions the driver uses. On the other hand, you may have only 4 'magic' resolutions because of the type of monitor you have defined when running VMMaker.
Finally, the cleanest way to start from scratch is uninstall any ATI driver, first from the control panel, and after that runnig CatUninstaller starting in safe mode. Sometimes it's necessary to go to device manager to manually uninstall default ATI drivers shipped with Microsoft products.
