I see also on the Mini 10/10v pages Dell has Function Key utility, not sure if that's of any use to the mini 9 or not.

I didn't find any drivers or software for the camera, but it seems to be working with the default Microsoft driver.

edit: forgot the touchpad drivers, I need my middle click!
The drivers for the inspiron 1320 seem to work well enough

See my post in the Mini 10v section also, in respect of new Windows 7 drivers, which some might find interesting!

Can anyone confirm if the Win7 945gm drivers are still dodgy? The last two revisions have had an issue with the aspect ratio correction options, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm running the RC version.

The function key utility does nothing on the 9, nor does the CapsLock utility.

I loaded the first two items and my windows experience index on Graphicsesktop perf. went from 2.0 -> 2.2. May not seem like much but it is 10%.

I've had good luck with these drivers with the aspect ratio options working. I still got the occasional crashed video driver but that was with the RC, I haven't had the RTM installed long enough to really tell.

Thanks for sharing. My retail copy seems to be working fine, but I may give the first two a go to see if I gain a little performance too.

Cool thanks. I'm rebuilding my Mini soon with W7 Pro RTM and I'll give the 7 drivers another go

Used these drivers a couple of weeks back for a Windows 7 launch party. They all have been solid performers.
