I don't think it's specific to the 755wd101.exe drivers. I tracked it down to whether or not high-performance mode was on. I don't recall the exact relationship anymore, but it *is* possible to get external support (all resolutions) and LCD support (640x480x 8bit color) without corruption on a mono. It may also have been related to whether high-performance mode was on at the time you installed the drivers. There is some combination of the install time and the current high-performance mode setting which lets you switch between the LCD and any resolution on an external monitor without corrupting the LCD display. You do lose something - simultaneous display capability I think. One of these days I'll try it all again and write down exactly what works and what doesn't (I'm using Linux now). ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.
