1. yes you are right... no bluescreens any more and hibernation ans suspend works with your driver 97.52 
but, i can't get my second screen to work. it works only when i dont plugin my second screen on start up but the internal screen is indentified as unknown screen. if i plug in the second screen on start then it shows wired stuff like white or colored lines after the drivers are loaded. only the external screen work. but he gets rotatet because my m200 is in my dockingstation always in tablet mode.
the driver dosen't recognize the inernal screen correctly

2. can't see any option for rotation in the bios menus.../ i tink its a driver (windows 7) problem not a bios problem, because everything is fine in xp.

3. the buttons work nice, sorry.
Only this mobility center is realy useless with it. 
The Toshiba CrossMenu for windows xp was disigned to be used with the 4-way-bottons so it was realy nice to use.

4.  i actually dont know how the computer speaks to them...  there is was never a driver for that... i think the software has direct access to them ?!? or not?
Hi Flos,

I've loaded the HP SD card reader drivers that you mentioned onto RC 1, however I cannot read from my Sandisk Class 4 6GB microSD (in adapter) card. The drivers show the device as 'Toshiba Secure Digital host controller' with the provider as Microsoft (these were downloaded directly from the HP FTP site - sp38175.exe). My 1GB micro SD is fine.

Did you do anything else to enable the reader to read your SDHC card?

Can you please confirm this is the same driver:

When you power up the tablet PC and the Toshiba boot logo is displayed, press ESC and hold it. A message will appear, asking you to press F1 to enter the BIOS menu. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to display mode on the right. Select LCD+CRT with the PgUp and PGDn keys. Press End to save and exit. In order to use an external monitor, either set clone mode or disable Aero before you plug it in. If you use the external monitor as an additional display, Aero has to be disabled and the used resolution for the external monitor may not be higher than 1920x1200@60Hz.
2. The only problems with the driver are that the display may not turn on when waking up from sleep. It can be turned on by adjusting the display brightness using the funtion keys. Also, Aero may get disabled if your applications or superfetch occupy to much RAM. That's a bug in the virtual graphics memory scaler that has worsened in Windows 7, because Aero only crashes and recovers constantly instead of auto-disabling (like it did in Vista after 2 tries). I don't know yet if that's been fixed.
3. I don't really understand what you want to control with that button, but they're just the arrow keys, enter (center) and ESC (short pressing the button next to the cross button).
4. It's an application accessing the hardware directly, running as a resident in the background. It was removed from the Vista driver set, because hardware access requires administrator privilegues. Though, since Windows 7 allows an administrator to run applications with admin rights by putting them in the startup folder in the start menu, it might be working again. I'll look into it, when I reinstall Windows 7 on the tablet. All tests I've done on it are based off of the Beta and some testing with the RC on another computer and might change with the RC/using the tablet.

@JimNemesis: Secure Digital High Capacity cards aren't supported. They might work in software mode, if their capacity is formed out of even blocks of normal SD capacities. This means a 6GB card won't work, because its not a multiple of 2, but probably 3 2GB blocks. I don't know about that HP driver, nor about the specifics for your SD card, but you can try the normal Toshiba driver for Vista, otherwise you're out of luck with using your uncommon type of SD card.

I have used the HP Secure Digital (SD) Bus Driver 6.0.4069.1 2000 driver for my m200 but somehow i get very slow transfere speeds. nornal sds that do 17 MB/s barly do 2.5 MB/s, thus cannot be used as a raedyboost device,
any ideas. thanks

Use a 1GB or smaller card and the sdbus.sys driver from Windows Vista. SD card larger than 1GB don't have native controller support and have to be accessed via software emulation, which utilizes the CPU and is slower. 1MB/s to 4MB/s is normal.

Dodo,

 

Great info. I wonder if you can help me further. I am using the Nvidia drivers from the file you posted  (v7.15.10.9752) and  AERO works beatify. However, I am getting a very annoying display blinking.

 

On a more positive note, the SD solution works like a champ and ready boost can be tricked into working. Also, I combined that with your Tablet PC Extensions and my Fn-keys for brightness control now work too.

 

If you have any suggestion for the blinking, it would be great.

 

Thanks.

The blinking is an issue with the Desktop Window Manager or the LDDM graphics driver model and how it allocates RAM for graphics cards with less than 128MB of dedicated graphics memory. I heard it's a 'won't fix'. Either lower your display resolution to 1024x768 or disable Aero.

Hi all, I'm a Windows-7ed-M200 owner. Everything works fine (Aero is a bit unstable, but I understand from Dodo's great explanation that, at 1400x1050, this is unavoidable and I really don't care too much) except the display back-light: dammit, it doesn't turn off!!!

 

I already tried both the  7.15.10.9752 drivers proposed by Dodo and the 7.15.10.9759 I got here, but the problem aint  fixing.

 

The only version unaffected is the Windows 7 default driver: with it, the display turns off, but global performance & max resolution sucks way too much.

 

What now? did somebody find a great video driver with the back-light turning off or was able to achieve the same result in some manner?

 

Thank you all!

With the version I provided, at least the display turns off if you close the lid. I tried and patched device IDs for all drivers back in 2008 and this one is the best one there is. Nvidia does not care about the 5000 series cards and chipsets anymore, so there won't be a fix for this.

 

If you don't work with your tablet PC, close the lid to save power.

Many thanks for your reply Dodo.

 

So I can't do any better of my current situation: I'll try to remember to close the lid...

 

If you have any news about this, please let me know!

Today i found a nice video driver.... everything works except AERO!

working:

-backlite turn off !!!

-Multimonitor support

-Sleep

-Hibernate

-Rotation if you set the flag in the .inf file

 

The XP driver version is 67.42 you can get it from laptopvideo2go...

set the "RotateFlag," in the modified
nv4dispd.inf file from 4 to 0x40 and now.

for more information look in the tabletpcbuzz forum

 

@JimNemesis

Yes, i use the same driver vor the SD-Card but i didn't test the drive speed... im just happi that i can read the sd cards even if its slow.

 

So i wish you all a Happy time with windows 7 and the M200 portegé!

You can use the Windows XP driver, but DirectX video playback acceleration is broken in all of them and the GPU power management features cause a bluescreen if the device doesn't respond soon enough. It's not a WDDM driver, wherefor the system cannot restart the device driver if there's a problem.This may cause you to loose your work in running applications and I wouldn't recommend you use the Windows XP drivers on either Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you don't need hardware graphics acceleration or AERO support, you should use the default graphics driver of Windows 7, it also supports powering off the display backlight. Though, closing the lid isn't too much trouble.
