I have downloaded 14.38.10.5132 drivers and found there 2 archives: vbios_g4x.zip & vbios_gm4x.zip. After looking into them i knew they contain "1859 14.34 08/19/2009" BIOS. I wonder wich one should I flash for DG41MJ M/B? If you're wonder whe do I need to flash: I guess drivers are incomatible with current BIOS ("1718 14.34 12/01/2008") because DVI is not working with new dirvers. Can anybody share with their experience in flashing of built-in video BIOS?

Ok, i knew that i can't flash video BIOS of built-in video separately. Only by using m/b BIOS. But looking into PDF coming with the latest 0007 version i see there is absolutely no change in video BIOS version. Is it just mistake in PDF or was done (i mean no video BIOS update) intentionally?

The VBIOS supplied with the "zip" drivers is intended for the use of developers. To update a VBIOS in a system it has to be merged with the System BIOS. Unless you have BIOS merge tools and the knowledge to do so you cannot update the VBIOS. Check with the manufacturer of your system for BIOS updates which may include VBIOS updates.
