I have a problem ... I'm using an IBM T40P laptop which was quite good when it released 3 years ago... (the company paid it 5000 euros ).
It has 1gb of RAM and everything but its GFX Card is a ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 which has 64 meg of RAM.
Of course i'm not interested in running FEAR or PREY on this PC, but i would like to play some games that are not so demanding like Civ 4 and similar strategy games...
My problem is that i tried a few games and NONE would run on this PC... probably because none of the recent ATI drivers support my video card...
So my question is there anything i can do??? I mean the laptop itself is ok, it would be crazy if i had to get a new one, only because ATI won't support the video card
I'm sure other guys here who have a desktop at home would like also to play games on their laptops... but it seems none cares much about us

Are there not Omega Drivers available for it? I dont know much bout ATI but when I had a ATI card drivers were total shite and so was support, happy nvidia user now If omega drivers dont work good luck gettin help off ATI,

thanks mate!
i tried the Omega driver, it crashed the pee cee... but no worries i could restore old config... god bless IBM and all their restore shit tools that takes 2 gig + on the hdd that fixes this kind of problem
it's so frustrating to have a descent PC and not be able to run any games

sorry to hear dat m8 iirc the only ati drivers that worked properly for my ati card were the omega ones That was a while ago and ive since had 3 nvidia gfx cards, it may be worth a shot emailing ATI but I think tbh if the omegas didnt work your outta luck I guess if you could get new working drivers somehow that lappy should play Civ 4 fine, well specs seem ok
