    I have a SZ691 running XP with Sony drivers. While using the Nvidia GPU, after turning off the LCD and then going to suspend, my notebook will often not resume correctly. When resuming, the result varies between
    1) everything works but the LCD
    2) nothing works
    3) spontaneous reboot
    If I go straight to suspend without turn off LCD then everything A-OK. Also does not happen with the Intel GPU. My guess is either bad driver or a bad GPU. Anyone else have the same issue?

    I'm using the Sony driver. I'm reluctant to use the drivers from laptopvideo2go because:

    1) The driver numbering is one big jumbled mess, can' decide which to use
    2) I can work around the suspend issue by keeping the LCD on, but I can't work around the Fn-5/6 issue.

    For now, the Sony driver is still more usable.
