I know people are using T60s via a dock and DVI connection to drive 1680x1050 external monitors. Can I do the same with a VGA connection? My T60 has X1400 video.

Yes, you can.

Thanks. Just to clarify, the X1400 can drive a 1680x1050 external monitor in its native resolution (as opposed to some lower resolution) via VGA?

Yup, my intel GMA x3100 drives 1920x1200 easy over VGA.

Thanks. Just put in my order for a widescreen monitor!

It'll drive a 1920x1200 display over VGA too, but in my case it looked like crap . . . shimmering was contributing to a great deal of eye fatigue.

I bought the Advanced Mini-Dock for its DVI output and the display is now rock-solid.
