Windows Server 2008 x64 Video driver - Proliant ML115

[Ronald Ward]

I bought three ML115's to test Server Essentials 2008 and so far hard disks, NIC, all were natively recognized from the Standard DVD install, but I cannot update beyond 800 x 600 due to the very basic default video driver. The chip is a Matrox G200e but no x64 2008 drivers can be found.

Both Microsoft and HP list the ML115 as 2008 compatible, and I am sure they tested this in something higher than 800 x 600.

Has anyone else ran into this or found a suitable x64 alternative driver that works in Server 2008?

Thanks,
Ron

type of server : PRIMERGY TX150 S5 SATA

unzipped the file and then updated videodriver (point to X64 map)

Hi Ronald,

You probably found it already, but HP now have a 2008x64 video driver (G200e) for the ML 100 series, works fine on my ML110 G4 (including Hyper-V), now running XVGA 16bit @ 85Hz ! Here's a link for ML115 G5 :
