There is your problem. A notebook card. Even the nVidia site admits |
| 6 |
that the notebook cards are weird. The drivers support the chipset, but |
| 7 |
there are no guarantees about the rest of the card, which may cause the |
| 8 |
drivers to fail. |

I would say that I have a geforce Go 5200, and it works cleanly and |
| 11 |
stably with the nVidia drivers, though almost all the hotkey related |
| 12 |
features fail. If it didn't work, would I blame nVidia? No, I would |
| 13 |
blame Dell, it's Dell laptop after all. |

So before you go flaming nVidia for a mobile card, check it is |
| 16 |
not actually a problem with the notebook, as notebooks frequently get |
| 17 |
customised cards. |
