[ltp] Presentations

[Paul Alfille]

IBM has a great resource:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/tabook.pdf

This gives a one page synopsis of all their current thinkpads.
Unfortunately, the T21 is no longer current.

Fortunately, this reference:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=thinkpad+T21&q2=external+display&uid=psg1MIGR-4PEJ5Q&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=
contains the statement:

So the answer is yes.

Typically, you include two device sections in your XF86Config file, one
with "Screen 0" and the second "Screen 1".

Depending on your distribution, there may be automated tools for the
setup. Otherwise I can send you examples from my (desptop) machines.
