why not try the toshiba driver? someone using 3820tg installed this Toshiba driver and say it's very good:

http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/su...tc00353700g.exe

It support 2 fingers scrolling and 'flick' ability... might wanna give it a try? Cos if it's good, I might consider installing it! I am still using the Windows driver with no gesture and multi-touch.

1+ i don't like use shortcut.. i put some icon on desktop to look better.

I use one of the gesture available to turn off monitor

master leeeeee~
it stated no Synaptics Touchpad device found... after i install the 2 finger scroll..

ok, think i ll give it a try later. i have a proggie that turn off monitor pin in my taskbar too.

hello all.. i'm 3820tg owner, bought in Jan 2011.
just wanna ask about acer warranty status. last time i check for my 3820tg warranty status shows only 1 year.
I just plan to buy acer supercare 1 extended warranty but today when i check again, the status changed to 3 year. mine don't have extended warranty.. is it normal?

Then don't have other option

You use which one ?

Call/email the Acer ton confirm it?

I just bought a 4820tg

I was wondering is it okay to leave my laptop on AC with the battery attached all the time? My old Vaio used to have this "80% charged, on AC power/plugged in" or something like that.

Its fine as long the heat is under control...

found the code to do this from codeguru:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/display_states.aspx

so, compile a proggie to just turn off screen (by removing other functions from the code above):

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
// Eliminate user's interaction for 500 ms
Sleep(500);

// Turn off monitor
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM) 2);

return 0;
}

screen will back on if u just move the mouse...

Tried AMD 11.4 Preview ?

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 21 2011, 12:02 AM

been looking at 11.4 for a loooong time, still havent install... CatalystCreator says should use 11.4 if playing Dragon Age 2! although i do feel some combat scene not as smooth as it can be (mostly because I turn around too much), i m still getting more than 30 FPS most of the time.... so, it is still bare-able... i was waiting for 11.3 since Wednesday, but till now still nothing

Rumors is that 11.3 will be release today (20th) Pacific time! So, by the time I wake up, it should be available (hopefully)....

If 11.3 still not very satisfying, I will try 11.4 preview!

have you guys tried ocing i3 380m in 3820tg? how much can oc? 3 ghz will be great

Got check for update for now..
as for 3D apps setting, seems the same..

hmm i just started dragon age 2, medium settings sometimes will stutter
ya all playing on which setting?

dx11
high quality
1366x768

thats all i can remember

if use very high i would get laggy during gameplay even though just walking

one question:

if i want to install this ccc11.x, should i install it under discrete or switchable?

ccc11.x from amd install under discrete mode.

not sure if anyone else having this issue, my ACBEL 90w AD9009 shows "plugged in, not charging" BIOS issue?

i checked the default adapter, both same voltages & amp wor

should go to BIOS and change to Discrete first. then login windows and install it. After that, switch back in BIOS to switchable.

my setting (which can get more 30 plus FPS)

Added on March 21, 2011, 11:25 amAs far as I know, "plugged in, not charging" is not a problem. It is the notebook 'smart' feature that will not charge your battery if it is above 97%. This actually help keep your battery last longer...

Added on March 21, 2011, 11:49 amu probably havent check NBR for a long time many people in that forum only has i3 and they have successfully push to 3Gz and more...

in case anyone's wondering here how the white ACBEL AD9009 90w adapter looks like

damn 11.3 still not available yet... i suspect 11.4 benefit 6xxx series more.... so, i m still holding... any noticeable improvement?

for those playing Dragon Age 2, be glad to know that this game run better in ATI than in nVidia:

Also, if you have several monitors, the game look DAMN NICE with Eyefinity
