    For which part???

    To my knowledge the x200 doesn't have any NVIDIA parts (Intel x4500 GPU in all models).

    When in doubt, just try the Windows Vista driver from Lenovo for any devices that give you trouble.

    oh, i mean that (intel x4500). I'll see what I come up with.

    The default driver the OS installed is fine, but there's some garbling when I use Aero and/or a dual monitor setup is used.

    I would think that the Intel GMA parts would be the base driver that they would get working before anything else. You shouldn't have to go looking for a working driver.

    This is still a beta, so this sort of thing is expected, but please report the bug, so that they can get to the bottom of it.

    Windows Update will install a pre-release version for the Intel x4500 GPU.
