Hello every1,

ok...I've recently bought a ibook for uni after years of being a windows user, thats right i've converted, i'm trying to update the Ati radeon mobility 7500 graphic card but cant find the drivers anywhere.

I've just installed ATI display panel which was intended for The following versions

7000, 8500 etc

its doesnt say anything about 7500, but it seems to work, could i install the drivers intended for 7000, 8500 etc off ati.amd website?

or does anyone on this site have the drivers for mobility 7500?

You are using a mac

Any updates to the ATI drivers for the macbook will come through apples own software updates

Are you having any problems with the graphics

You don't need to update drivers manually, as said above, they are automatically updated via the Apple Software update.

Before you answer with 'but I want to', really it will not help anything and could cause issues. Often the OpenGL drivers are embedded deep within the OS - so let the OS manage itself. It's not like Windows where the default drivers are 2 years out of date and barely work anyway.
