[ltp] t30 experiences? and T23 experience???

For the T30, according to IBM's website, the model I've got right now
(2366-42u), has an XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD.

So that would probably explain why it wouldn't do 1400x1050.  Looks like I
meant to type 1024x768 below, where I have 1280x1024. Oh well. The Radeon
card itself, however, will go all the way up to 1600x1200.

Will your machine cycle through the three options if you reduce your
resolution to 1024x768?

Aha...seem to be making some headway now :)

Just to make sure (coz it has happened to me with the T2x series before)
does the T30 you are using support 1400x1050? The 236661U for example
only seems to support the 1024x768 (unlike the 236692U, which supports
1400x1050).

If it does support the 1400x1050 resolution, can you cycle through the
CRT/LCD/CRT+LCD modes while in the 1400x1050 resolution?

Thanks for looking into this,
DS
