driver for Vista that seems to support Aero, rotation and sleep

[ericthebikeman]

Toshiba has released a driver for Vista that seems to support Aero, rotation and sleep. The prior versions never seemed to come back from sleep if you had it in slate mode, other non-offical version seemed to have issues with Aero or rotation.
All of the things I consider core for a workstation work but had a .2 point performance hit. I didn't notice it myself but don't freak out if you notice your score gets dinged a bit.

Long story short: This is not the release for you if performance scores are more important to you than proper sleep functions.

Hi,
Where did you find this driver? Can you give us a link? would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Linc.

It was on the Toshibadirect.com website under the M4 drivers for Vista.

I upgraded to this driver on my M200 (from laptopvideo2go) yesterday and I haven't had any problems with recovering from sleep so far.

The problem only seemed to occur when restoring power in slate mode. Laptop mode worked fine. The laptopvideo2go drivers from the last month or so never worked properly for me, even after hacking the inf file to support rotate.

When you wake your M200 up from sleep mode, does the diaplay come on correctly, or do you still have to use the plug/unplug workaround? I've tried this new Vista driver, and my screen stays blank on resume.

Thanks!
