    Hi,
    I've just get my LM50. It has a radeon 9700. I have visited ATI web site for last drivers but it says that I should download the drivers from manufacturer (LG) website. I cant find any graphic driver on LG site. Can you please help me. Thanks in advance.
    Have a nice day.

    also you can grab their multi-monitor software which helps if you plug an external monitor into your notebook: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

    thanks for reply. I was just worried becouse ATI says I should use my manufacturers driver. But if you say ATI drivers are just fine than I can use them.

    Hi,
    I've just found a driver on lge.co.uk. It seems to be pretty new. Hope it will work. Will try and inform.

    good to hear.. Wierd that the ATI drivers don't work, they should..

    I'm not running windows, but I am just using the standard radeon drivers from ATI and they work
