I've noticed that the video only partitally reinitializes after resuming from
Standby or Hibernate on Vista RC2 while in tablet/slate mode. Only the mouse
cursor appears on the screen everything else is black. This doesn't seem to
happen if the tablet went into a low power state when it was in laptop mode.

I can get back into Windows by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL then blindly typing the
password. The video will reset and display the desktop properly.

The new drivers from nVidia didn't seem to do much of anything beyond bump
the performance score up a bit.

Correct. That is a problem, not only on the machine you've got but many
other brands, in the beta software.

I'm sure we'll see more stable drivers soon enough. My video driver
sometimes switches to 1024x768 when I come back from standby, then I have to
manually go set it to 1280x768.
