Wow, that was a quick answer. I'm sorry to say, that I cannot try the xv tip myself right now, since I'm running Windows on the machine. But i will try it later. If someone out there, could fix this, please do. If not, I might try to fix it myself, altough I have no experience developing device drivers, but I'm willing to give it a try. Maybe there's some very similiar code somewhere else in the source tree, that you could almost copy and paste? Please give me some pointers if it is? I was thinking about bying a portable with a Geforce To Go or similiar in it, but I ranned out of cash...:( (Sorry...;P). Thanks for the quick response...
