Screen expansion problem?

#1 Post by dansu » Mon Jun 27, 2005 3:35 am

Everytime I turn on screen expansion, it works fine until I hibernate or turn off my computer. After doing so, screen expansion seems to default back to being off. Is there a default setting for screen expansion that I can set somewhere?

I've tried turning the option on through both Thinkpad Configuration and BIOS. For some reason it never wants to stay on. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

This is on my 2378FVU running Windows XP Pro SP2. Any help is appreciated.

That just does the same thing as the options in thinkpad configuration.

What I noticed is that when I resume from standby and check the thinkpad configuration dialog box, screen expansion is still enabled. But what will happen is that about 10 seconds after I resume from standby, the screen will turn off for a second, then turn back on. After that cycle, screen expansion is disabled. So it probably has something to do with that.

Update. Seems to have been a driver issue. Switched over to the Omega 5.4 drivers. Screen doesn't cycle off and on after standby resume anymore and screen expansion doesn't turn off by itself anymore.
