Hi, I just discovered the external display plug in which works well except for the volume knob on the case. There is nothing wrong with the knob or the connection since it does work with the enclosed utility.
Before, I tried the utility that is provided with the case and with both of them I have the same problem: the system doesn't hibernate anymore.
Windows freezes if it's due to hibernate.

EDIT: After posting the message above, I got some similar threads in which I found out that the volume knob just doesn't work with the MP plug in.

My other question remains: is it normal for using this VFD that MP doesn't hibernate.

Hi Peter2,

I have experienced similar issues with the Antec Fusion VFD and hibernate/suspend. Right now I have disabled the ExternalDisplay plugin.

Did you get any response or have some goodsuggestions to get this to work?

Thanks gcopeland.

For now I have disabled it altogether, or to be exact it has disabled itself... It seems quite unreliable and in many cases after suspend it just won't start again. Right now this is a 2nd prio problem as TVservice is cause some headache after resume as well.

Hi gcopeland,

I also found this http://www.antec.com/us/support_roductInfo_FAQ.php?Qnumber=1&FAQno=24

I guess this is my issue. I have filed a support request to Antec since my HTPC is going in and out of standby all the time...
