T61 docking with LCD

#1 Post by chadwicktr » Fri Jun 06, 2008 3:01 pm

I'm setting up some new office equipment and I have a question regarding a t61 setup with an advance mini dock and an external LCD. It's setup to extend the windows desktop on the external LCD, however, after I undock, and then redock, I have to manually configure windows display settings to extend the windows desktop again. Is there a solution that it will automatically configure the settings after I redock?

Thanks

You can use the Presentation Director to do this.
Define a display scheme that you want to use when docked and then there is a check option that allows you to switch to that scheme whenever you dock your Thinkpad.

Thanks, I've setup a custom scheme, but I do not see the option to make it the default when docked...

Any suggestions to what I'm missing?

Thanks

EDIT:

Well it was right there in front of me, but this machine is running vista which makes this option unavailable per http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/mess ... ge.id=1295
