-	<li>Flatpanel protection for laptops is not yet in place: be carefull! External only output has been reported functional though.
-	<li>No DVI support: you have to use a standard VGA cable to connect external flatpanels;
 	<li>Embedded GeForce RAM detection is non-functional: please set amount manually for now via the nv.settings file (driver probably defaults to 1Mb if you don't). If you have overlay trouble, set a slightly smaller amount of RAM than you actually specified in the system BIOS (1Mb less or so);
-	<li>A few cards still might have hardcursor trouble. If you encounter this use the softcursor: select this via the nv.settings file. Make sure you mail me if you still have trouble but also if this version fixed that!;
 	<li>If the driver still seems to create 'random' trouble make sure you have a fully functional VGA BIOS, or system BIOS for embedded cards (check for updates on the manufacturor's site). Make sure you mail me if you still have trouble but also if this version fixed that!

 	<li>Fixed acceleration engine management regarding sync_to_token: no more updating glitches should occur now;

-The 'features' listed below are temporarily(?) shutdown. If your panel does not work with driver 0.10-17, <strong>PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK!</strong> Send me a logfile with full logging enabled as well. <strong>Feedback without accompaning logfiles are of very little use!</strong><br>

 <strong>NOTE:</strong><br>
-These features are shutdown because they are possibly dangerous without feedback: No documentation on this exists, so this was setup by me tested on my cards only. Feedback to me will help me gain more info about <strong>IF</strong> we need this, and <strong>IF</strong> it's OK to use it. This will be accomplished by me sending 'tweaked' versions to you with these features enabled one by one, depending on the logfile you send me, <strong>AND</strong> the feedback I get from you about those tweaks working or not!!
