    Hi, I've been enjoying my new W860CU a great deal, and wanted to throw Windows XP on it to run some "legacy software" - I generally stick to Ubuntu these days.

    I've been having a hell of a time finding drivers for the GTS 360m, though - digging all over the place has given me a handful of drivers i can get to install through editing .INFs (all of which are 197.xx-drivers), and all the ones that appear to install successfully give the same result - a completely black screen when the login screen should appear. After waiting a couple of seconds the backlight even turns off, though the system still appears to be running just fine.

    I've been wondering if it could be an EDID-issue, but connecting external monitors to either the HDMI or the DVI and hitting the screen-changing button didn't do anything - still no signal. Are there any owners here who have gotten Windows XP running with a GTS 360m here, or do any of you have any idea where i can find a working driver?

    Yes, i'm sorry to say i have - they give me the exact same problem. I've also gone back and tried using 18x-drivers, but they give me the same trouble, sadly.
