    At random times the screen will black out when switching from video to video. I think it may be the graphics card driver, but when I change to the ati or omega drivers it becomes worst. My system specs are in my signiture, and i am using the latest official dell-ati drivers. any solution of fixing this. thanx

    I have the same problem with my Inspiron 6400.... i think it has something to deal with the quickset utility from dell... when i uninstalled it, the problem disappeared...

    I dont know, maybe the problem is the ATIX1400 video card (drivers)...

    if you find out a solution, please post... so i'll do.

    sorry for my bad english.
