    DVI out on Advanced Mini Dock

    I'm trying to connect a LCD monitor via the DVI out on the Advanced Mini Dock, but it's not working. It will only work via the VGA analog out. Does any of you have a desk configuration where you are using DVI out from a dock station?

    My laptop is the z60t, which doesn't have a DVI out from the laptop itself, but I figure that the DVI out should still work from the dock.

    Trying to get this to work has been totally frustrating. If you have any advice or tip or know anything in this regard, please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    You have to change the input on your LCD, I'd guess that's the problem.

    I have my T42 hooked up to a Dell 2001FP through the DVI connector. Didn't have to anything special.

    I played around with the LCD settings and upgraded the graphics card driver. Nothing worked. I did a quick search and the page says below that the z60t does not support DVI out via the Advanced Mini Dock. Could someone please confirm this? This really sucks! :mad:

    Could ask Lenovo. They should know.
