    Hey guys i've got a bit of a problem here with my Dell 6400

    With the stock Dell video drivers, everything works fine except my FusionHDTV USB dongle, which the software says "Overlay not available".

    So I thought I would try the latest mobility 6.7's...

    The 6.7's fixed the overlay problem, but they make my screen all jagged with lines and crap everywhere. See screenshot:

    After a bit more testing it might just be happening after my laptop has been on standby for a while, but i'm not entirely sure.

    Anyone know whats going on here? Temps seem fine.

    It seems fine when I zoom up but smudgy when zoomed out. Not sure if it's my computer or your problem you're asking right now. Also, what ATI card do you have on that Dell? If it's integrated, the Catalyst Mobility 6.7 won't support them.

    what's point of posting same thread three times? Do you think we're stupid enough to not see it?

    I would contact the maker of your tuner, and you shouldnt make multiple posts, an occasional bump is fine, but one post is all you need, if someone knos a solution to your problem, they'll post it

    you created three threads for the same thing.

    i'm closing the two with the fewest replies.

    don't crosspost again.
