Hello:

I have a computer with a radeon X1300 and since Windows 7 i used the 10.2 Catalyst legacy drivers for Windows Vista. They aren?t great but worked for Windows 8 also. When you execute the package they expand in the c: root ati\support\10-02_Legacy_vista?. They may not run because of the Windows version but you can go to the Device Manager and update the driver from there (browse).

I hope this helps..

I'm using Windows 8 CP on a Dell Inspiron 6400 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. I installed ATI Catalyst 7.5 after modding the drivers with Mobility Modder.

ATI Catalyst 7.5 for Windows Vista 32-bit

ATI Catalyst 7.5 for Windows Vista 64-bit

I hope this works for you.

Edit: Looks like I'm wrong. For the mobility version I couldn't get any version higher than 7.5 to work.

I?m having the same situation with ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 in Windows 8 X64 .... Did yoy solve this problem in Windows 8 X64??? or only in 32 Bits?

Carlos.

Yes, I solved this problem the other day with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and Windows 8 x64.

Here is how to do it:

1. Download ATI Catalyst 9.3 and extract the installation files.

2. Modify the drivers using Mobility Modder (the tool doesn't seem to work on Windows 8, but it works on Windows 7).

3. Disable driver signature enforcement and install the driver '9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF\CH_76829.inf' in Device Manager, i.e. Update Driver Software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a group of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk.

Happy to report my experience based on your suggestions:

System: Win 8 32-bit, Inspiron E1505, with Radeon Mobility X1300

At first, I could not run Mobility Modder on Win8, so moved over to a Win7 machine. Modded the Catalyst 7.5 Drivers from the package "7-5_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_46757". After that just went to Device Manager, Display Adaptor -> Upgrade Drivers -> Browse -> Let Me Pick -> Have Disk and selected the .INF file. It instantly recognized Mobility x1300 and ONLY this driver (not an entire list of irrelevant drivers). Installation required disabling UAC and allowing unsigned drivers.

Bumped me up to 1680 x 1050 Resolution. Whew, looks much better. Thanks for all the tips!

Hi Hart Nadav Feuer,

I also have a ATI Radeon X1300pro (silent)

Could you are anyone else place a link with the modded Catalyst 7.5 drivers from the package? I don't have a win7 machine, just win8. Also, I'm not a pro, like you guys.

I bought a new dvb-t card, because I thougt my old one was broken...But now I realise....It's due to win8

Many thanks for your work. Very much appreciated!

I modified the driver of an installer with the characteristics of X1300-1500.

You can find it here: http://www.alaricvs.it/ATI_Radeon_X1300-1500.zip

First, though, you have to uninstall all existing display drivers.

Tell me if it works

I cannot get any ATI Radeon X1300 drivers / Catalyst Control Centre versions to work with Windows 8 CP x64...any help you guys can offer to get it sorted? I'm using a Dell Dimension 9200 from 2007.

Thanks in advance :-)

I solve this driver problem after 3h. Here is the solution for instaling Ati Radeon x1300 driver for Windows 8 32:

1. Download catalyst_8-31-100_vista32_rtm

2. Set for downloaded file(catalyst_8-31-100_vista32_rtm) the compatibility mode for Vista(simple, not Service pack 1 or 2)

3. Instal and enjoy!

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
