Wow! That was fast and now it all makes sense. I'm not sure where the
external video port is on my laptop (one-year old ThinkPad) or the
software
utility but I'm sure it has them.

Almost certainly. Which ThinkPad do you have? The video output is
probably on the
left side. Its' got 15 or so holes arranged in three rows and has screw
posts on
both sides.

The magic key combo is the (blue) Fn key plus F7.

Steve, excellent help above but only a minor correction to your post. Not
all laptops with VGA connectors have the screw posts anymore.

True. Heck, not all even have standard VGA connectors, especially the little
teeny laptops.

But since OP mentioned that this was a ThinkPad, the odds are good that it's
got your basic plainvanillascrewposted VGA connector. (Dang. That's twice
now I've typed VBA instead of VG.. THRICE ... Ahhhgggggrhhh)

VGA is 3 rows of 5 holes each, slightly staggered alignment for 15 total
holes.

Ah, that's better. Thanks.

Thanks for the good work you do on this NG.

And you ... thanks for all the good advice you offer here and (I see)
elsewhere.
