Cheers for the responses. The google plus posts were very informative.

Would appear support for the 802.11ac dual band wireless is in 3.13 so will
probably get myself a dual band nic with Thinkpad.

Thanks

Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Just spotted this mailing list and wondered if anyone has experience<br>
with any of the new Levono Thinkpads. Thinking about getting myself one<br>
but want dual external monitor support. Is this something that anyone<br>
has got working. Its got display port and VGA but will VGA support any<br>
higher resolution (1080p and beyond?)<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anybody has any experience trying to get something<br>
like this running? Will it require the purchase of a dock/port<br>
replicator? More than likely be openSUSE running on it.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards<br>
<br>
William<br>

VGA port can definitely drive 1920x1080 - tried that on a T61. Max res<br>
is 2048x1536. Technically I don&#39;t see a problem driving higher<br>

I can&#39;t really answer this part of your question because I&#39;ve gotte=

rid of all my VGA monitors.<br>
<br>
A couple of cautions --- make sure you turn off UEFI boot *all* the<br>

&gt; Just wondering if anybody has any experience trying to get something<b=
r>
&gt; like this running? Will it require the purchase of a dock/port<br>
&gt; replicator? More than likely be openSUSE running on it.<br>
<br>
There is currently a kernel bug supporting the video output of all of<br>
the new Lenovo docks. =A0I&#39;m sure it will eventually be solved, and<br>
there are some hacky workaround kernel patches that seem to work for<br>
some people:<br>

<br>
Also, audio out is not currently working with the dock. =A0Again, it&#39;s<=

probably a driver issue that will eventually get fixed:<br>

I had a 1920x1080 running from a T430s using VGA, and the picture was<br>
not nice, especially areas of (ostensibly) homogeneous colors. I tried<br>
various fancy VGA cables (thick shielding, gold plating -- our IT has a<br>
lot of these around), but they did not help much. So when I upgraded to<br>
a new, larger monitor, I bought a miniDP-DP cable and has been happy<br>
ever since.<br>
<br>
But I am still glad that Thinkpads have VGA ports, if I want to use my<br>
own laptop for a projector that seems to be the most common alternative.<br=
