New M6500 Discussion Thread

witch backpack is better for this laptop ?

 

The 2nd one.

 

what ?

 

Uh. So I have a U2711 @ 2560x1440 via DisplayPort & a 1908WFP which is using RGBout on the M6500. It's working now & was working earlier, but keeps freaking out & losing resolution sync on restarts & user switching. Do I need the dock to run the smaller screen alongside the big boy?

 

Anyone have any idea why I can't get the webcam driver to install? Running XP x64. Downloaded the "CREATIVE-LABS_INTEGRATED-WEB_A07_R258275.exe" which lists XP x64 compatibility and this is the driver that pops up when referencing my service tag. All I get is a cryptic "'An error occured while setting up the driver" popup when trying to install the driver. Does the old 2.0mp webcam driver use the same driver at the 3.2mp camera? That's the only reason I could think of why it won't install. Any suggestions on something to try?

 

Ok so tech chat said dock is needed. Fine whatever, but this U2711 monitor gives off a quick refresh type flicker every once in a while... is that displayport acting up/ the m6500? Anyone else get this?

 

I am using the internal screen and the U2711 connected to the display port of the ATI 7820 (extended desktop mode) and have never had any occasional refresh type flicker or similar issues.

 

Crap. Hey is there a way to get the system out of hibernate without lifting the lid & hitting the power button? External keyboard is unresponsive

 

Man, this flicker has got to stop... it's like once every 5-10 mins.

 

Sounds like you need a GPU replacement.
