    Hi,

    I'm loving my new M17x r3 580m system, but can't seem to get any video with HDMI in. I'm using 290.53 drivers. Could this be the problem? Does HMDI IN only works with the standard Dell drivers?

    Thanks.

    Yeah, when I had my 460m, hdmi in only worked with stock drivers. So this might be a similar issue.

    The 280.26 is the last driver the HDMI-in has worked with.

    Thanks guys. I guess I'll have to decide whether to roll back or stick with my current drivers.
