I have a setup with my Lenovo T400 Thinkpad running Windows XP, which docks onto a Lenovo Advanced Mini Dock (www-307.ibm .com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-61297.html). The dock has both a dvi and a vga output and using Thinkvantage Presentation Director, I’ve set up a profile to drive two 24” monitors at 1920 by 1080 resolution. To achieve this, you have to disable the internal LCD of the Thinkpad, which Presentation Director takes care of. So… my question!
I have a running setup with a Lenovo T61 Thinkpad (www-307.ibm .com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=7659AT5) running Leo4All v3, upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6. As the T61 is compatible with the Lenovo Advanced Mini Dock, I’d like the T61 to drive both monitors, as I do with the T400. However, when I dock the T61 it seems it will only drive one of the monitors along with the internal LCD. Does anybody know how I can get this working?
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!
