with the help of the forums, i downloaded catalyst 7.4 drivers and modded them. I managed to achieve 1920x1200 on my external monitor. The problem is that my external monitors' resolution is actually 1920x1080 (full hd) and the image is a little bit distorted. I can select 1920x1080 resolution but i...

Yes, I can confirm this worked a charm for me too. 1) Downloaded DH Mobility Modder @ 1.5mb. 2) Downloaded ATI Catalyst Drivers @ 35mb. 3) Downloaded Microsoft Dot Net Framework 2 @ 23mb. Installed 3, semi-installed 2, ran 1, continued install of 2. One reboot later and "hey presto...!"... 1400x105...

which version of catalyst drivers did you install?
I installed the latest 8.4 catalyst drivers and suffered many problems.
Needless to say that 1920x1080 nor 1920x1200 that I am internested was not an option.
I posted my issue here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=61142

hello,
I have a t41.
Can I use an external monitor with 1920x1200 resolution?
I can get higher than that but every resolution possible is 4:3 and my external tv is 16:9.
Is there a program that can force a resolution?
P.S. I do not have a docking station and my configuration is ATI Mobility 7500.

Is there any news about Radeon 7500 for Vista?
Here says that Ati/Lenovo/Microsoft are "working" on this
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... f307658880

the radeon 9000 is no longer listed on my vista install maybe because i have tested many other drivers. is there a download location for microsofts' radeon 9000 driver?

is there a solution to have the good features from both sides?

middle click press and hold does good scrolling like ibm likes
the press and release of the button generates a standard middle click

i have the same problem, the mobility 7500 is not good supported for Vista. I am working with the XP drivers now in Vista and even though they are better than the standard vista drivers i feel a better version of the drivers should do a better work. unfortunately amd has stopped support for our grap...

Hello! I have a thinkpad T42 and the latest driver for power management. The problem I experience is the following: The sleep button used to work like a charm (it stopped the hard drive closed the monitor and waited for a key press to wake up) but now suddenly stopped working and the only thing it d...

im confused, how would that help you? in any case, alt+f4 does that on my t40, yet its not entirely easy to hit those keys when the lid is closed... reasonable confusion, but the answer is that i have an external keyboard and an external monitor and i would like to turn on the thinkpad without open...

I already know about Wake-on-lan and this is not what i am looking for, thank you.

once i had a motherboard that could turn on the pc (not ibm) when i pushed ctrl+F12 combination, is that possible somehow to a t41?
does anybody know?

thank you for your answer but,
unfortunately i do not have a dock and i don't like the idea of having one only for that feature,
does anyone know any other way?

hello, is there a way other than wake-on-lan to turn on the laptop without opening the screen-lid? thank you.

Is there any way of making IBM 802.11abg wireless card to work as an access point? all i have been able to do is only Ad-Hoc... Are there any drivers to make it an access point?

I have an 91P7315 BMDC (the one for T41) and I would like to know if I am able to use on my T42.
IBM site says that 91P7319 is the right BMDC for T42. Will i have problems if i put my T41 BMDC into my T42?

Thank you.

how can i burn the recovery disc set? or whatever is called

thank you for the posts! i had an external enclosure and finally enclosed the desktop dvdrw so as to write the recovery cds. Though i have another problem now... It only prompted me to write ONLY 1 CD! The cd has inside an i386 as well as the r&r folder but is only ~150MB! I dont wont to risk it... ...

fortunately i have another thinkpad with R&R3 working.
I tried to make the recovery CDs but i neither have cdrw nor external hdd.
Is there a way to burn these cds through my LAN on a desktop's computer dvd/rw?

i have deleted my R&R and reclaimed the space. I changed my mind though.
Is there any way to have IBM Partiotion in my disk again?

does my t41 2373-8RG can be bluetooth upgraded? if so, which is the best bluetooth mdc (bdmc) available? bmdc-4? or it should work only with bdmc2? my access ibm helps says: Your computer has a Communication Daughter Card (CDC) slot, in which you can install a Modem Daughter Card (MDC) or a Bluetoot...

baldy

can you share with us which wifi card and what bios patch did you use?

which bios/controller version do you have?

well this is a common problem with thinkpads and wireless, but there is no good solution to the problem. I have installed a Wireless card (non-IBM) and the usual stuff occur: unable to boot and stuff. I use latest bios/controller releases 3.17/3.04 i think. well the good news is that i can eventuall...

the help file says that in some models this feature is supported. i think that my thinkpad doesnt support it, as i could not find it the way you said.

is there any other program that does the same thing?

" Set the battery settings so that it only recharges once the charge stored is low (arond 80 or 85%) this avoids doing many microcharges... and saves wear on battery. "

my laptop does not have this option, is there any other software that can do it?

thanj you

I have a t41 and i wonder how much power does it consume?
i consider having it work all day all week.

will i have any problems doing so? will i have to take out the battery or something? is it good to underclock first (battery mode)? how much watt does it consume? will i have any other problems?

i have a t41 2373-8rgb and i have the lates bios/controller updates. I installed an atheros wistron cm9 minipci card in it (not ibm) and the common problems occured (unable to boot) BUT when i put the ac power on the laptop is able to boot if you try twice! if the ac is off the laptop wont boot. i t...
