I had this same problem after upgrading to Win2K.. Unable to change display between internal and external monitors.. Drop a mail in to the list and was pointed to the answer at http://home.hccnet.nl/pr.nienhuis/Lib110CT.html Comparing Win2K with Win98, I lacked the display switch option (to change on the fly between an external display and the built-in LCD screen). So I searched the Toshiba site and found only the Libretto Windows NT 4 display driver for Neomagic, pk7vidnt.exe. After installation of this file, in the Display properties applet a new tab called Neomagic was found, enabling display switching as desired. OTOH the hibernation tab was gone from the Power Options applet and the Start Menu. It turned out that the Libretto-specific NT driver has one more dll that the Microsoft-supllied Neomagic driver built into the Windows 2000 distribution lacks, and it is called Neomagic.dll. To reinstall the original Windows 2000 Microsoft driver, I had to delete the oemx.inf and oemx.pnf files from the winnt\inf directory. "x" is just a number, one might have to check all occurences of oemx.inf to find the right one mentioning Neomagic. Next I reinstalled the MS neomagic driver using the Add hardware applet. After that, I found hibernation worked again, but the Neomagic tab in the Display properties applet had survived, too! (meaning the neomagic dll survived and thus proved to be quite independent of the graphics board driver proper.) So, it seems more easy ways to get display switching together are: Installing the Windows NT 4 Neomagic driver from the Toshiba site, but not allowing to overwrite the newer neo20xx.sys and neo20xx.dll files from the Win2000 installation; Unpacking the pk7vidnt.exe file using Winzip or so, copying the neomagic.dll file to your winnt\system32 directory and running something like (in a CMD-window or Start, Run...) regsrv32 .......... neomagic.dll (sorry, but you'll have to figure out the details here yourself).

Win2k doesn't seem to know how to do this unfortunately. To get into the BIOS, hold down ESC as the machine boots, it'll flag a keyboard error, press F1 to get into the BIOS. Note that if you run in viewport mode (ie. desktop resolution higher than 800x480 so you scroll around the screen), you can't use simultaneous mode or the external video will also be in viewport mode! If the idea of doing a fully reboot everytime you want to switch from one to the other doesn't appeal to you, I *think* if you set it to select internal or external at boot-time (or whatever the option other than simultaneous is called), you can switch from one to the other without doing a full reboot by suspending it, plugging or unplugging the external monitor then resuming it. - Raymond At 03:44 PM 22/10/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 15:38:25 -0700 >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [LIB] Display change for "beamer" on WIN2000 > >No, there is only one monitor shown, the notebook screen, and I want to >send it to an external monitor (beamer). > >There is no choice in display properties. >Dick > >-----Original Message----- >From: Lawrence Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 4:49 PM >To: Libretto >Subject: Re: [LIB] Display change for "beamer" on WIN2000 > > >Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 16:46:26 -0400 >From: "Lawrence Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [LIB] Display change for "beamer" on WIN2000 > >You can switch between monitors in display properties. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 4:36 PM >Subject: [LIB] Display change for "beamer" on WIN2000 > > > > Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 13:30:19 -0700 > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Display change for "beamer" on WIN2000 > > > > I have just finished installing WIN2000 on a 10G drive in my CT100, > > and >now I need to connect the port replicator video out to a "beamer" to >make presentations.
