If not the overlay issue, I'm curious then what the V1.00.09t4 bios does fix. Is there a readme with the bios?

No, no readme.

Here's is what a readme from a Eurocom bios file for the D500P (clevo model for Sager 5680)

R1.00.03 2002/10/24

R1.00.06 2003/12/11
1. Solve Windows XP reports incorrect memory size problem.
2. Add internal WLAN information in SCU.

R1.00.07 2003/12/31
1. BIOS Solve “system hangs up during S3 resume” problem

R1.00.08 2004/03/23
1. Support the windows flash BIOS function by Phoenix WinPhlash.
2. Support Phoenix new DOS version flash utility.

R1.00.09 2004/05/06
1. Solve “cursor moves slowly in CMOS setup when the internal card reader is available” problem.
2. Solve “some WLAN PCMCIA cards can’t work” problem

Note, the BIOS I received from Sager is also dated 2004/05/06 so my guess is it is the same file.

I can't WAIT to receive a new BIOS from Sager that fixes the overlay problem for the 5680.

would the 5690 BIOS update work on the 5680? Given that the 5690 is just the 5680 with a Mobility 9700 (AFAIK).

See http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=44586

Opinions?

I doubt it - the bios is quite dependent on the graphics card (or is that vice-versa?). Plus, we've been told that Sager is working on a 5680-specific fix. Just a little patience...

New bios from Ted has fixed my overlay probs. But I Don't like the drivers past 7.99s. Seem to have scanning issues. But dvds play fine.
My lappy is a 5680\3.2\1024 ddr ram\radeon 9600 pro turbo.
Bios file from ted is 568bv10s. Vesion 1.00.10s with separate bios flashes for fn.\ctrl swap.

Just curious--what do you mean by scanning issues?
