Hi, Sorry for the late reply but I have the 185 driver installed on my laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 256MB graphics card. I use disper as it is a quick means of changing screen outputs. http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/ My dual screen set-up works nicely. I did accidentally install the 173 driver but that didn't work with my set-up. It is very good at auto detecting display resolution you just have to run one command after login.
