When using the multi-monitor feature on your ThinkPad computer , there are several key
considerations:
- For this release of Windows 2000, the number of display adapter cards that
can support multi-monitor capability will be limited. Because the ThinkPad
computer's internal display needs to be configured as the primary display
device, any PCI multi-monitor card that has VGA mode must be disabled.
As of this writing, few display manufacturers have video cards on which you
can disable the VGA capability with a hardware jumper setting or with a
firmware utility.
The current implementation of multi-monitor support is very limited in Plug-and-Play
capabilities. When a multi-monitor PCI display adapter is installed in your docking
station, no hot or warm undocking will be allowed under Windows 2000. Only cold-
undocking is possible at this time. This is a known limitation of Windows 2000 and
may be addressed by Microsoft in the future.
