    LOL, Fujitsu's SA3650 with beta drivers wont need any external monitor anymore. Take that XG station.

    Try the Magma Full driver, or the DIY ViDock USB bootdisk. The error 12 is due to your bios not allocating a memory window to the video card it's hosting.

    Thanks a lot, i have downloaded and tried the usb image (DIYVDock-conf.img), but neither of the two .bat files works.
    The dv2000 uses ati card like min (x1900xt, a bit different) but it achieves nothing. Boots normally, bt problems stay. I use win 7...
    The other block when trying to disable mini wlan card, i think...

    As i gather i need to change these two lines accordingly

    :: Expresscard is connected to 00:1C:00 bridge.
    :: 0/1c/0 Bridge 4KB I/O Window
    setpci -s 00:1c.0 1c.w=2020
    :: 0/1c/0 Bridge 256MB Memory Window
    setpci -s 00:1c.0 24.l=CFF1C001

    but how do i get the right parameters for this. what tool should i use. Cana lavalys everest help?

    sorry for the bother, i know its a bit to much, but i have nowhere else to turn :)

    regrads!

    If using Win7, pull out RAM so you've only got 2 or 2.5GB. System needs 2x256MB PCI windows to work with when there's two video cards, often not being able to allocate them in < 4GB of space if there is 3+ GB of RAM.

    If needed, try pciscope trial edition to do more analysis.
