    I finished reinstalling XP SP3 on my ThinkPad R51 and there is no option for Dual Display. The Lenovo/IBM support site has no info on it so I am hoping for some direction here. Any ideas or direction would be appreciated.

    Sorry or the delay in responding. Yes I have and the external display did not recognize it. When i right click the Intel logo in the system tray it only gives the
    Notebook as an output option. The chipset is 82852/82855. Also when i check the video drivers it lists 2 each of Generic Televison, IBM ThinkPad 1024x768 TFT LCD panel, and Plug and Play Monitor. Any ideas?
