Oh that is great news! Thanks for the tip, you probably saved me half an hour of frustration.

So I have a x61 that I'd like to use with a external LCD exclusively. The included monitor doesn't offer much screen anyway (1024x768), and since I'd rather not get another keyboard, I was thinking about detaching the x61's LCD completely.

Hey guys, has anyone compared the LCD brightness between a X60s and a X61? My X61's LCD is noticeably brighter than my brother's X60s with both at full brightness.
