eCS 1.2R, TPad T60, SMP, ACPI/APM dated 20070809.
The only way I could use the VGA was to select both the LCD+VGA in the BIOS. During boot, the LCD was used until the SNAP driver was loaded. Then the display was switched to the VGA projector. Sometimes it took several reboots to get this far. No amount if Fn-F7 keying was recognized.
FWIW, I have the ThinkPad? On-Line Display [TPOLD] tool installed. It was displaying that the system was in 'Dual' mode and should have displayed on both devices. TPOLD showed no indication that the key combination was being depressed.
AcpiDaemon? is running. CRC could possible be a solution, but up to no there was no luck even with CRC.
it's event from ACPI. it's necessary catch it and make something. the notebook doesn't make efforts by itself.
how to implement? in CRC project. It's necessary call ACPI methods, write something to memory, ports.
Happens with the T61 as well.
In the older Thinkpads, T43 and before, the video out port was a slave to the graphics controller and its output was controlled by F7. The newer models appear to have 2 graphics controllers. I don't know if there is some setting of the BIOS that will make the newer models function as the old ones did.
Replying to stevenhl: Is the projection [six weeks ago] of 3.11 still valid? What is the projected date of 3.11?
Is there a chance this will ever work at all?
I hope so because it is something that I would like to work for my own use. This is still on my list to work on.
