Video Card Choices For Thinkpad Dock I 2631 With A31p?

#1 Post by tvccs » Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:31 pm

I want to add a video card that will fit in a 2631 series Dock being used with an A31p. I wonder what people are using that works, and I wonder if anyone is using a card that has drivers that support 1366x768, which is the max native resolution my HDTV/DVI monitor will support via DVI. Thanks.

I don't know about HDTV/DVI ... but I am running a DELL WUXGA (1940x1200 prox) from my Dock's DVI connector .. NO video card in the Dock is required. However, I also use an OMEGA driver (ver 3.8.291).

Hope this helps.

Thanks...I use the DVI connector now...but the Omega drivers have been problematic for me, and don't support 1366x768. It would also be nice to have two fully functional monitors, which the onboard Fire GL7800 doesn't support. At least on my system.

A bit more ... I too run a couple of A31p boxes .. one with external monitor (the WUXGA) via a Dock-II. The Omega driver runs perfectly on my setup.

I settled on a single desktop -- across the two monitors with the WUXGA as my primary.
