Since I use the 8600 ervery day, here it is:
Laptop: Dell 8600 w/ widescreen monitor
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200
Driver Ver: 4.5.8.6
Resolution: WSXGA+ up to 1680 x 1050 (Used at 1280 x 800, I have adjusted
this to the other options and have seen no change wrt my problem)
Screen Size: 15.4" Widescreen

Please note that hooking up the 8600 to an external standard monitor, then
setting the resolution to a standard aspect (ie not widescreen) and using the
laptop as a tower does not produce any different of a result.

The 8100 resides at home on a shelf but what's below is what I recall -
sorry no driver version. I'll repost next time I see it.
Laptop: Dell 8100 w/ Standard Aspect Monitor
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce2 Go
Driver Ver: ?
Resolution: 1600 x 1200
Screen Size: 15" Standard Aspect Monitor
