Have Intel 915GM - Time to return monitor?

organisciak · 09-30-2009, 03:00 AM

Hi, I just happily unpackaged my new Mimo monitor, only to find the horrible line in the driver docs:

"Intel 915 chipset: Intel do not provide a WDDM driver for this chipset.
DisplayLink hardware will not operate correctly without a WDDM 1.0 or
higher driver."

Seeing that this chipset cannot get a WDDM driver, will my new monitor never work for me (short of me buying a new eeePC)?

Hi,

I'm very sorry, but there are no plans to support machines without a WDDM driver in windows 7.

Best Regards,
Martin

That's okay. You guys can't be blamed for the someone else's flawed chipset.

I actually liked my Mimo so much that I used XP for a couple weeks (for those who've experienced 7, it's hard to go back), and then bought a new netbook.

Anybody in the market for a used 10" netbook?
