[ltp] T22 Q's

Actually, I am curious about the video chipset on the T22.

Do you have access to an external display? Can you check to see if you can have
simultaneous LCD and External display?

Running 'lspci' on the T21 produces:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/MX-/IX (rev 13)

Is that what the T22 has?  If so, I guess it has 1400x1050 resolution?

Thanks,
DS
