The driver included with Windows has issues redrawing the screen it seems after a few minutes and the driver from Windows update actually crashes the machine.

Could anyone please list the drivers that they are using for their ATI card if they’re not having problems pls?

PS a link would be fantastic!

Have 2 problems and not sure why they show up in windows 7 but not in Linux.

1st one is sometimes if a login to fast the system freezes. Only way back in it if I do a hard reboot. Thought it was the virus scanner but it happens even if it’s not present.

2nd one is the 2nd HDD. I invested in the 2nd HDD bay and at boot works just fine but even when using it sometimes it disapears for no reason. I checked the power settings and turn HD off is disabled. In linux I don’t have this issue at all.

Any help would be appreciated

The most difficulty was getting the fingerprint reader working. Software from Lenovo never did work right – the fingerprint enrollment program refused to talk to the device no matter what I tried.

However, there is Authentec software on their site that is not specific to the Lenovo, and it worked fine. I just wish it had not taken three hours of time to get to that point.

My last remaining issue is that the ATI video driver apparently does not know how to use the entire laptop screen when going to lower resolutions. That is, in Vista, I usually ran 1440 x 900, just to get reasonable size on the text and icons, and to make the physical dpi match my external 20″ monitor. In Win7, changing to a lower resolution makes the screen restricted to an appropriately sized section, centered in the available area with the rest of the laptop screen just being black. So the physical dpi doesn’t change.

This is going to be a real issue when I do presentations for projectors that only handle 1024 x 768. That results in a screen image on the laptop that is about 8 3/4 inches diagonal.

My old eyes are not going to like that. I hope this issue is fixed before fall conference season.
