How to manage a external LCD

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a standard Latitude C600. I'd going to attach a 17" LCD as an
external screen. I tested it and it works fine.



Questions.



In WinXP I set the resolution on the LCD to 1280 / 1084 but on reboot the
resolution drops back to lower settings. How do I set it permanently?



I want to close the Latitude and just use a keyboard mouse and screen on my
desk. How do I power ON without opening the lid.



Thanks.

Is this such a big deal that nobody has any idea.

I would have jumped in, but have no idea. That's not the way it is supposed
to work, so therefore there is a problem.

I'd suggest the OP toss this same question up over on the Dell community
forums under the Latitude general and Latitude video boards.
