I have posted problems here regarding older bioses and W7. THe main
problem I have with 2168a (unlocked fro VT) is that the hardware
keys for brightness do not work.

Going to the newest 2170 fixes that, but breaks hardware graphics card
switch because bios always boots in intel mode.

I think the web site of Raphael is posted in every second email on this
list, please *read* it and you would have known that there is
absolutely no need to run XP for switching.

(Argg, as Raphael said, it feels since ages that this is known)

Best wishes
