Installing ATI FireGL V7200 Drivers with Windows Server 2008 R2

Currently, there are no drivers for the ATI FireGL V7200 for Windows Server 2008 R2 (or 2008). The OS installs, but uses generic VGA drivers with no dual monitor support. There are Windows 7 drivers for newer FireGL cards, but I tried the technique below to use them and just got reboots.  Using the Vista drivers and an INF file modification I was able to get full support for dual monitors with the ATI FireGL V7200 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64).

 

Download the Vista drivers. Go through the driver file extraction process. Modify the driver INF file as follows:

Ex.: C:\AMD\FirePro_8.583_Vista64_77160\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF\CH_77160.inf

 

Copy these two lines under the [ATI.Mfg.NTadm64.6.0] section:

 

"ATI FireGL V7200" = ati2mtag_R520GL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7104
"ATI FireGL V7200 Secondary" = ati2mtag_R520GL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7124

to the [ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1] section.

 

You will now have this section as follows:

[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1]
"ATI FireGL V7200" = ati2mtag_R520GL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7104
"ATI FireGL V7200 Secondary" = ati2mtag_R520GL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_7124

 

Now continue the installation (or rerun setup.exe from the extracted files location).  You may have to force the selection of the driver, you can use Update driver under Device Manager and specifically point to the edited INF file.
