I have a Gateway T-6815 laptop. I've just formatted the machine and
installed Windows XP Pro SP2.

I had no problem locating drivers for this laptop and installing them, but
for some reason, the Intel 965 driver turns the laptop backlight almost
completely off. The laptop is not usable this way.

I've tried making power saver adjustments in the Windows control panel. Also
made changes in the Intel control panel... No change.

Does anyone have any idea how to work around this?

As intel says,once the OS is installed,run the intel chipset installation
utility
for youre board,then install drivers..Also,once thru,install the latest
Direct X
download,once all is thru,if problems exist,go to run,typeXDIAG Run the
Direct X tests....

This is a hardware problem, not software...hence it does not relate to
XP...meaning it is out of place here.

Ask elsewhere

No, but Andrew had to get in his useless post of the day.

You admitted yourself this IS a hardware problem, in the HARDWARE newsgroup,
so how does it not relate to the group subject? If it was software, which
you state would be on topic, then it would NOT belong here.

That Vista is MUCH better than XP and that I shouldn't want to install XP.

Are you trying to tell us that Gateway didn't supply the drivers for
that operating system to be used on that computer?

Because it has NOTHING to do with the OS. Look at the title and
figure that out: the OS and it's interaction with hardware. This
problem had NOTHING to do with the OS and was purely hardware.
