    The newest Dell driver reads 6/06, I know Ati just released a new version on Halloween, but it doesn't support the dell x1400.

    So what can I use? the stock driver has issues with color adjustment on the LCD panel (adjustments are shot out to external monitor regardless of output selected).

    Thanks!

    I 2nd, or 3rd or whatever is going in up in here, the Omega drivers.

    I did a clean format/install and I'm running them and am very happy with them.

    If you go to install them without a clean install, I'd remove the ATI drivers first, reboot, and then install the Omega drivers.

    going good so far, was able to drive my Dell FP2405 @ native 1920x1200 with windvd fullscreen and then do whatever I wanted on the laptop lcd without hiccups.

    However, there's still no saturation adjustment, and the lappy display pales greatly to the color in the 2405.

    Hi guys,
    I have just got a new dell E1505 with the x1400, could you please tell me where to get the best driver for it that will give me the best performance and the least jolting for flight simulator 2004?
    thanks.
