    I'm running into a strange problem running dual monitors on my X200 through the Ultrabase. I'm attempting to run a panel through the VGA adapter as well as through a DP-DVI adapter which has worked before on several occasions.

    When re-OSing the system(to Win7), the X200 boots up and uses the display running on the DP. I did an entire installation through this, but after installing all the drivers through System Update I can't get the X200 to detect the attached display. As before, everything shows up just fine until the machine boots into Windows, where the monitor turns off and the internal LCD turns on.

    This is likely a driver error, but I'm scratching my head on this. Any ideas as to get this working again?

    Edit: Well, looks like this isn't a driver error. For some reason the monitor I'm using doesn't like the DP adapter as I'm able to connect another monitor the same way. Ah, well. Win some, lose some.
