    Has anyone got Windows 8 x64 running properly on the XPS 17 (L702X) ?
    I'm having troubles with the graphics. When in desktop view, every so often the screen will flicker to black and back: it's usable but very annoying. No problems on win 7 x64. Tried various drivers, tried disabling the Nvidia GeForce GT 555M, but made no difference.
