Re: VGA Driver ATI Rage XL for Server 2008 x64

i have Linux and Win2008R2 installed on our HP DL380g4 servers. The Linux machines do 1280x1024 easily, so i rdesktop to the Win2008R2 servers from the Linux servers. Looking at Event Viewer at 1024x768 is a waste of time.

FIGURED IT OUT! knoe, you almost had it.

 

So here is what I have done.

- Download x64.zip file from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/VGA/ATI/RageXL/x64.zip
- Run/Expand the zip to same directory
- DO NOT run the setup file or you will get the error message,
         "Setup will only run in Administrator mode. Setup is aborting"
- Launch Device Mgr
- Expand the Video Driver and update Standard Video Drive. Point to directory x64.
- The server will need to reboot
- Display settings can be raised from 1024x786(16bit) to 1280x1024(32bit)


Note: 1600x1200 (16bit) is available but does not work on mine. If you set it to this setting and the video does not come back, connect up a higher resolution monitor and set it a lower setting.

Hi,

 

There are some drivers available for windows vista and windows 7 64bit OS which could work for windows 2008 as well, has it is built on the same code.

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

I followed the instructions until:

- Expand the Video Driver and update Standard Video Drive. Point to directory x64

 

And get an error ".... The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows."

 

Which is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 SP 1 and the HW is a DL360 g4

 

Just for info here, I will try more.

 

Thanks,

 

S.
