Well, that sure is interesting. Xconfigurator on the T30 tells me that it
can't do 1400x1050, just 1280x1024, even though the screen itself will
support it.
I did check on a T23, and I also see the two-modes only on the S3.
Interestingly enough, the S3 driver settings for windows doesn't allow both
LCD and CRT at the same time. The only thing that appears to do it is the
Presentation Director wizard (pdisplay.exe), that was mentioned earlier.
Hrm.

Pam,
Could you try cycling under linux on a T30 (ATI-Radeon M7) at 1400x1050
resolution? The 2366-92U supports this resolution.
Thanks,
DS
