    Have ThinkPad T60, with Radeon x1400 graphics card. How do I activate the DVI port (on docking station) to talk a a DVI-capable monitor?

    thanks

    For those who care (not many, apparently, since no one has responded to this Q), I managed to fix this. a BIOS upgrade supports the wide-sceen 1680 x 1050 resolution. Once this was installed, Presentation manager offered an option to drive external DVI device at this resolution. So, have PM set so that it defaults to local LDC when not connected, but drives DVI at full wide-screen resolution when it sees DVI. Only got this going last night, but seems to be working.
