I use a Thinkpad T40 w/ 9.2. At my desk, it is connected through a port replicator to an external monitor 1280x1024 and through a USB2 connector to an external keyboard. The keyboard is further connected through it's own USB1.1 port to a mouse. Works fine.
When I try to boot when not attached to the port replicator, X starts at the external monitor's resolution, not the internal 1024x768, so only the upper left 75% of the display is visible AND neither the internal trackpad or trackpoint pointing devices are active, so I have to run GUIs using keyboard commands only. How do I get the system to detect the difference in states and activate the pointing devices and call the correct screen resoultion. It did this in 9.1, but I never made any specific settings to do this. (I'm less conerned about the screen since I know I can change that in Mandrake Control Center.) TIA Paul
