Bump, I'm interested in how you get this figured out too. Anyone with any suggestions, or is there a better forum for Alienware laptop users? Maybe over at alienware's official support forum? Ideas? IcePirate3, what are you running...

Yes, I'd already come to the same conclusion. If it was a DVI-I port that carried analog and digital, it could work, but not with the DVI-D digital only port as is on the back of the e1705. It seems the vga port is bad, or like you...

Well, the DVI output works just fine in all modes, so it appears that either the vga plug has a defect/short in it, or the fx2500 just doesn't synch up with the older cornerstone 21inch CRT. It is recognized ok in the nvidia settings...

Good evening/morning folks, Thanks for all the good advice over the past 3+years. I've had an XPS Gen2/M170, then later an updgraded e1705 wth 7950gtx. After a year, the 7950gtx finally blew--video memory fried with permanent artifacts,...

Roger that, but I've been using the X-fi Xtreme Audio Express card for 3 months with tons of crackles and have tried everything so far with no results. I also have other reasons to use the D/dock, so I thought I'd put in a sound card...

Thinking about adding in a sound card via D/Dock and need advice. For those of you who have done that, what card have you found that works well. I'd lean toward x-fi's, but many have the crackle/pop issue, and it looks like some have a...

Ah, now you both are listening! That's what I needed to know. Man, this is so much better than tech support... The second part of my question was what about the 'Dell docking connector support bracket' and the 'smart card reader...

If I can't get the speakers and fans with lights, could I just use my e1705 ones? I really don't care about the lights--plain fans and speakers would be perfect for me. Also, what about the Dell docking connector support bracket and...
