Those three files you listed are the only files that make up a monitor driver. They are the same regardless of OS, though the executable that does the work might be OS dependant.

No flashing ! I think someone should sticky this thread because i've seen alot of people have problems with the flashing on this monitor all around the web.

Thx Vil,   In the control panel power settings there is an option to favor performance while using more energy. The machine is handling this feature as well, so far, quite nicely. Glad things are turning out well. So far..so good.
