HP zt3000 / Compaq nx7000 and Mobility Radeon 9200

It seems like many people are having a lot of problems getting their 9200 video drivers to work on their zt3000 and nx7000 laptops.

Starting around Catalyst 5.6, something changed in the original ATI driver code that stopped working with the laptop's LCD screen.
The newer drivers actually work but the laptop LCD either has a strange color behavior, or it just shows nothing (like in my case).

Solution? Just use a modded Catalyst 5.6 or earlier.

This should be sufficient for most zt3000/nx7000 users... if they're running on XP. If you're trying to run Vista, you can still install them by downloaded the modded drivers install package then enabling Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.

You can also try Omega Catalyst drivers.
