Legoguy Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 This works somewhat well for my 7400 Go -- but every now and then the screen blurs a bit and returns to normal within about 50 ms. This didn't happen with the older drivers (admittedly the older drivers didn't work at all for some other 7400 go users, i got mine to work with some config trickery..)
