Resolution Changes When Docking/Undocking.. Very Annoying.

Hi All,

I am getting a very annoying problem where the resolution changes when docking and un-docking my laptop and I have to keep resetting it to 1400x1050. I use the laptop screen only when docked, so it shouldn't need to change between resolutions at all. I have tried lots of different driver versions, to no avail.

Has anyone else seen this problem, or has a fix for it? I'm assuming it's a problem with the display driver?

Thanks
Rael

YEP! If you are talking about a T61 I have the same issue...no fix that I could find....

Try deleting your profile (there should be TWO one for docked and one for undocked) and re-create it (by docking)...MAKE SURE YOU BACK EVERYTHING UP...ATTEMPT AT YOUR OWN RISK... (XP ONLY) not sure how this works if you are running Vista...

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion... I gave this a shot, but still no joy. Sad thing is that it didn't do this before I updated the driver using the update utility, but now I can't roll back and don't know which driver version I had before.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Rael

A BIOS update has been released to fix this problem:

(Fix) Incorrect screen resolution may be configured when the system is re-docked on the docking station.

(Fix) Unexpected display mode(s) may be selected with docking station on Windows Vista.

BIOS update utility.

Hi,

I saw that in the BIOS readme too, but I already have a later BIOS version than that... unless they re-introduced the bug of course.

Thanks
Ray
