External Monitor Thru Dock

[MarcosV]

Hi All,

I recently did a fresh install on Win XP on my TP R40. All is working well except for one thing.

When I connect my laptop into the IBM Dock II. I get a slight screen flickering on the external monitor which is a 19" ViewSonic.

It's not a major flicker, just enough to notice and get anoyed from.

When I right click desktop and go under Settings->Advanced->Monitor, I can see three entries for displays:

Generic Television
Default Monitor
IBM ThinkPad 1024x768 TFT LCD panel

Even setting the monitor refresh rate to 85 hertz does not make the flicker stop.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? Or maybe know of something I need to do to resolve it.

Before re installing Win XP. I did not have this problem.

Thanks and regards,

Jim

I'd try installing the monitor's .inf file, and make sure you're using the external display only, the thinkpad's display should be off.
