    Which setup? Maybe it's getting confused by the Intel 865 chipset.

    What does CPU-Z say about the chipset on your mainboard. Is it GM965 (integrated graphics) or PM965?

    It might be handy to install the drivers that came with the laptop.
    As you wrote in another thread, you haven't installed any drivers, not even the chipset drivers.
    Although you wrote that almost everything is working just fine, even aero, I really think it's gonna be useful to install the (chipset-)drivers.
    My 2 cents.

    Got the GM965 and i bought my zepto of a retailer, NOT www.zepto.w/e. I got it a hell of a much cheaper from the retailer than straight from Zepto. Got it for 1199€ (off Assembly 2007 in Helsinki :) ) and yeah it was pre-installed but maby I should try to install the drivers and see if they are more up-to-date

    I've got the X3100 but the BIOS is set to PCI Express graphics (it makes no difference in my case (6024W) if I change the setting to IGD.

    Maybe you have also got the X3100 on board and you need to select IGD in the BIOS. This is a potentially interesting hardware option.

    The chipset in both 6625WD and 3415W is a Intel GM965, this is basically the Santa Rosa chipset. The graphics card in the 6625WD and 3415WD are the Nvidia 8600GT.
    The Intel GMAX3000 (i've changed the file names on the FTP now) driver is only for the 6025WD, 6024WD as those have built in VGA in the chipset.

    The chipset drivers are a good thing to install, but the GMA is not for the 6625WD, so yes uninstall that.
