I’ve just installed the naughty leaked Build 7022 version of Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude X1, and it seems that it doesn’t suffer from the XDDM problems that build 7000 did 
With build 7000, the Intel 915 XDDM Graphics Driver required me to drop the hardware acceleration right down to prevent it from hanging, but build 7022 just works out of the box.
I’m not suggesting people go out and grab naughty builds of Win7, but the fact that this problem has been fixed at all is good news for anyone that’s stuck on XDDM drivers.
Thanks for the info! Can anyone confirm this?? I am currenlty running Windows 7 7000 as my main OS (I know i shouldnt) on a Samsung Q1-NP.
Windows 7 (7000) works better on the 900Mhz Cel than Vista or XP ever did has given my Q1 a 2nd life!! if only i can fix the hanging problems caused by the stupid Intel 915 drivers…
Well I can confirm it
The only problem I had with the leaked build was that ReadyBoost didn’t seem to work on flash memory (although it worked with “proper” harddisks). I didn’t manage to fix that, and ReadyBoost makes a big difference to my laptop, so I’ve had to roll back.
The image restore in Win7 works a treat though
i’ve tried XDDM intel 855gme drivers in a lifebook e4010 and breaks like in 7000
I just installed the public Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) on my Latitude X1, and so far the display is working fine. I am having trouble with the wireless though – looks like the “Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG” driver installed, but the media is disconnected. Any clues how to switch Wi-Fi on/off? Fn-F2 is switching the Bluetooth not the Wi-Fi.
The switch does both for me I think. There’s options in the BIOS for whether the switch is enabled/disabled and what it actually switches on/off.. might be worth having a poke in there.
Indeed, somehow the Win7 install disabled Wi-Fi in the BIOS. Thanks!
I installed build 7057 on a Emachines T3256 this week and the only problem I’m having is that the XDDM Drivers for the nForce 4 MX IGP keep crashing it saying “Page fault in nonpaged area” so if I can find a workaround it would be great because build 7057 is working perfectly with only 512MB of RAM.
I got a similar problem.
Build 7100 works like a charm with XDDM-drivers (XP-drivers) for my old Radeon 900 Pro.
But everytime I shutdown or restart my system I get a BSOD. :-/
