Hints
When you are using OS/2 or Windows, the virtual screen
function is available with the ThinkPad Features program. It is

produced by the computer. Other parts can be seen by moving
the screen with the TrackPoint III or other pointing device.
Attention:
Do not disconnect the external
monitor while the computer is in
suspend mode or hibernation mode.
If no external monitor is attached
when the computer resumes, the
LCD will remain blank and the output
will not be displayed. This does not
depend on the resolution value.
