T60 wide screen fails to display full screen in XP OS

[K.Red]

Not sure what happened here, when XP starts up the T60 only displays as if the screen size is a standard sized display with 2 blank panels on each side of the display area. There is a full screen display while in the firmware/BIOS and during the early boot, when XP starts is where the problem begins. I have looked in the control panel --> display settings but do not see any options to configure/widen the display settings.

This was working fine and it seemed to manifest when I started using a dual screen implementation.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So is your other screen 4:3? and you are in clone mode (i.e., both screen display the same content)?

If I cold boot up with the T60 in the docking station then it comes up with the same data on the LCD and the extended display, mirror images of one another. But I can add the extended display and have it present what is in effect an extension of the primary screen.

OK, have you tried to set up a Presentation Director profile with both screens or with only the built-in one but in either case with the native resolutions of the screen(s)?

Another alternative would be to use the ATI control center (assuming you have a discrete GPU) and see whether that allows you to set the native resolution of the LCD.
