    Hi

    I would like to ask this community 4 things:

    1) When i tried my Webcam for the forst time with Genesyslogic supplied drivers i could see a nice image and 30fps rate, now, the image quality is bad at 10fps, i don't know what happened, but AMcap is always on preview, and if i turn the preview off i can't see no image, did you had the same problem? if so what did you do to solve it

    2) My LCD is a 15.4" WXGA ColorShine, it seems that this lcd brightness is still a bit low at the max setting...i wonder if this LCD have ambient light sensor?!
    anyway, are there any ASUS specific drivers for it?

    3) is it possible to replace the keyboard on C90 for one with light keys to write at night?

    4)what TV Tuner with Minicard interface do you recommend to install on a C90? And what builted-in TV Tuner came with your asus c90? I don't have any


    Thanks ahead

    your screen should be wsxga+ glossy (1680*1050) at least thats what seems to be the standar c90 screen. i feel that mine is bright enough.

    the tv tuner does not come built in yet, internal tv tuner cards will be sold separately, but so far no news about them

    Sorry I cant be more help but as for the webcam. First you should download the newer drivers from asus.com. Second, the camera gives lower frame rates in lower light. Tahts how most webcams work.

    Actually my C90 came with a 15'4 WXGA Screen, im positive about this..

    Has anyone tried the YUAN MC372 minicard tv tuner? This would fit on my C90..
    it has the ability to be integrated in Vista Media center TV


    About the keyboard, has anyone tried to remove the keyboard? is it easily upgradable?

    or, are there any keyboard with back light keys on sale for C90 ?

    Thanks ahead

    C90 is the best :)

    Are you sure you have a C90S and not a S96S
    But then again C90 does have option of WXGA , WXGA+ and WSXGA+ for the screen but most dealer have been offering WSXGA+

    Yup, im from portugal and here i could only find one store that was selling Asus C90, and this one came with a WXGA...
    but it's still an asus c90...with a conroe e6600 3GB Transcend RAM, 8600 GT 512MB, Atheros 5008X Wireless and bluetooth, i have overclocked and perfomred several tests and it has never crashed on me, i have XP, Vista 32, and linux, i am very happy, but i could be more happy if i had 2 more things:

    Azurewave DVB-T Hybrid AD-TM500

    (just saw this)

    or YUAN bult.in tv tuner
    and a keyboard with shiny light keys to write in the dark

    Well the screen i think i will have to stay with this 15'4 WXGA...

    Dude, if anyone gets that TV Tuner, let me know how it works in the C90. Looks like it might be PAL.
