Hi, I have been trying to fix that "problem" for quite a while. There is a feature in my thinkpad, which as it seems right now is more than a bug for me than a feature. (Note: this could be a windows/operating system thing and not a thinkpad. I am actually pretty sure it is not strictly related to the thinkpad, but I couldn't figure a way to fix it.)
I am using an X61T. It has Windows vista. Whenever I connect a monitor to my laptop, I get two separate desktops - one for the laptop screen and one for the monitor. However, what I want is both monitors to display the same single desktop. I tried going to display settings in Windows, and it does not give me this option. It shows two monitors, lets me identify which monitor is each (by printing 1 and 2 in the middle of the monitor when I click on the button) and choose which one is the "main" monitor (the one where the main portion of the desktop appears). Is this really a graphics card problem? It sounds to me like it should be possible to merge the laptop screen with the monitor, but I am not sure how. Thanks!
