The "trick" doesnt work with a simple cable, the monitor has to be connected, but the monitor doesnt need any power.
As to settings, yes i have tried.
The lappie reports 2 monitors "default" and "Plug and Play",
default only allows the 2 resolutions i listed, the other shows about 16 settings, but only the 4:3 ones work properly,
however, i cant "save" the settings for the session unless the external monitor is plugged in when i do the "apply"
I will double check the monitor.inf, but my old screen could do SXGA+
and i currently cant even select that unless the external monitor is plugged in.
All good fun
Andrew
