    Guys,

    Just discovered the there is now an updated OSD Manager for the m15x:

    http://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m15x/m15x_OSD_x86_00025.exe

    This file isn't showing yet in MyHive, but if you search for driver updates it shows up. Thought it may be useful for those of us that like to run the latest of everything. :D

    According to the limited release notes, this is for Vista 32, XP and Windows XP Media Center editions.

    Just installed this on my m15x. My problem with Fn+F12 ( touchpad disabling ) disappeared after installing this new OSD manager.

    I'm wondering if this updated version is more compatible with the Windows 7 (32 bit) Release Candiate.

    Since it appears that the m15x is going to stay in the current lineup until after July it would only make sense that they start tweaking stuff since - according to Microsoft - folks who purchase a new PC beginning in July will get free Windows 7 updates.

    Anyone given that a whirl yet?
