Download Do Driver S3 Graphics Prosavageddr: Compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista

If you download ProSavageDDR driver for Windows XP and try to install it on Windows 7, you will know it cannot be installed on Windows 7. So, where can you get the driver for Windows 7? Actually the driver needed for Windows 7 is the ProSavageDDR driver for Windows XP.

ProSavageDDR driver for Windows XP can be easily found and downloaded from the Internet. But if you have not get it you can download it from here. I got the driver from the Internet, tested and removed some unnecessary files.

The chipset maker said it had made driver code available for S3 Graphics' UniChrome family of graphics cores integrated into its CLE266, CN400, PM800 and PM880 North Bridge components. The drivers support Linux kernel 2.6.x.

VIA has also posted driver source code for S3's ProSavage and ProSavage DDR integrated graphics controllers, it said. The latter are found in VIA's KM/KN/PM/P4M/P4N266, VT8372, VT8375, VT8613, VT8703A and VT8751 chipsets. The following chipsets integrate the regular ProSavage: PL133/T, KL133/A, KM133/A series, VT8361/4, VT8364A, VT8365, VT8365A and VT8604. Driver support extends to Linux 2.4.x kernels and up.

The latest one I can find is dated August 16, 2002 (though that may not be the actual release date). You can download it from the S3 Graphics division. Get the one that is 4.4Mb in size since it has 'utilities' (and possibly uses Installshield). It's version 13.93.53, though that isn't a standard, Microsoft-approved numbering scheme (what you see with your current drivers may show a different numbering scheme).

I don't know if the Voodoo 2's will support CMBB. I'm not sure if they completely work under WinXP either (I don't think that they do). It might be possible with 3rd Party drivers (check VoodooFiles.com), but it may involve a bit of work finding all of the correct files (which may not be included in one download). I'm also not sure of which is the better 3D performer - the S3 or the Voodoo 2's. If it wasn't for the UMA architecture, I would say the S3 would be. However the other problem is driver quality, which you're seeing here.

Windows 98 might improve the graphics quality, but that is strictly a guess. It depends on how different S3/VIA has done their driver development for each version of Windows. Supposedly the ProSavage 8 was made 'expressly for Windows XP' according to VIA's product documentation (which really means nothing - you always want your hardware to appear to be optimized for the latest and greatest software from a marketing standpoint).

Recommendation: Windows users who are inexperienced in updating Fujitsu Graphics Card device drivers can use the DriverDoc driver update tool [Download DriverDoc - Product by Solvusoft] to help update these Fujitsu Graphics Card drivers. DriverDoc takes away all of the hassle and headaches of updating your Fujitsu drivers by downloading and updating them automatically.

There is a lot of work involved in updating device drivers, so we strongly suggest downloading and installing a driver update utility. An advanced driver update tool guarantees that you have all new driver versions, confirms that updates are compatible, and provides a backup of your current drivers. Backing up your drivers provides you with the security of knowing that you can rollback any driver to a previous version if something goes wrong.

On Windows this indicates your system may be running in "Mesa Mode". This may happen when hardware rendering is disabled because of missing drivers, or if you don't have compatible hardware-accelerated graphics at all. Your PC may be too old (from 2008 or older, or some netbook with Atom CPU from 2010?) If you have a 3D video card or at least a modern processor (CPU) with built-in GPU capabilities, make sure that your OpenGL drivers are installed and up to date.

Hardware requirements have not changed since V0.13 (see Common problems with 0.13). Stellarium should work on most computers from 2010 and later, and on older computers equipped with dedicated graphics cards from around 2008 or later, when drivers are up-to-date.

Particular note for Windows 10 upgraders: If you upgrade some older computer, you may have to also upgrade graphics drivers manually. Not all graphics card manufacturers provide drivers for Win10 explicitly for their old hardware, but some drivers for Win7/Win8 may work. If Stellarium V0.11 worked for you some years ago, it should work also here. If the hardware allows it, V0.14 will also work. Don't expect latest programs to run on outdated hardware without latest drivers though.

V0.13 is the first release based on Qt5, which brought several technical changes. The most critical is that rendering graphics with Qt5 requires at least OpenGL2.1 support. This normally utilizes a dedicated piece of hardware, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Any recent (say, post-2011) hardware should provide sufficient functionality, but you may need to update the driver not just with the built-in Update driver search of your operating system, but with drivers downloadable from the graphic card manufacturer's website. (Sometime drivers for notebooks can only be found at the respective notebook manufacturer's support websites, and using the reference drivers from GPU manufacturers may not be completely compatible.)

This requirement is valid for all platforms (Win/Mac/Linux, in any flavor). As always, update drivers if you see graphic problems (missing characters, flickering, ...) where there should not be any. Read the log file for warnings hinting at graphics problems. (You find the log file either in the application's help menu, or via start menu->Stellarium->Last run log.)

In doubt, you can verify your GPU's capabilities with tools like "GPU Caps Viewer" (free download). If this shows support for OpenGL 1.4, 1.5 or 2.0 only, and your PC is otherwise still OK, you may consider upgrading your PC at least with a dedicated entry-level graphics card. If this is not possible, read below for MESA support.

We are providing two flavours of Windows versions. One uses OpenGL drivers directly. This should work with graphics cards from AMD/ATI series Radeon HD-2xxx and later, NVidia 8xxx and later, or Intel HD Graphics (built into Core-i processors of the "Sandy Bridge" generation) and later. Make sure you use the latest drivers from your graphics card manufacturer.

The other uses ANGLE, which translates OpenGL to DirectX on Windows 7 and later. Also here we need hardware providing DirectX VertexShader 2_0 and PixelShader 3.0 (vs_2_0 ps_3_0), i.e. DirectX10. This should include even earlier graphics cards: ATI/AMD X1xxx, NVidia 6xxx, Intel GMA X3000. Again, keep your drivers updated! Current trial versions seem to run even on WinXP, but are not 100% stable. ANGLE is officially only supported on Win7 and later, we cannot therefore do anything if it does not work on your particular XP PC.

Problems range from missing parts in the Stellarium interface, text display problems (on S3 and ATI Rage graphics cards), to missing stars. They mostly occur on older hardware, or on specific on-board graphics chips (an onboard Geforce 4MX user solved the problem by reverting to the older 5.2.1.6 driver for his model). We advise experimenting with the graphics driver (updating, changing settings, reverting to older versions) if you're comfortable doing this. For users experiencing problems with S3 graphics controllers, update the driver to the S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR driver for Windows XP.

For all you die-hard XP users: this version (only the "classic" flavour) still even works on XP. Make sure to update graphics drivers though. A Geforce 9600 crashed with 335 drivers, but works with 340 drivers.

The DriverIdentifier is a tool that analyzes the system drivers on your computer. The utility reports if any new drivers are available, and provides the download files for the driver updates so you can install them quickly and easily. 2ff7e9595c
