ONITOR ACTIVATION AND CONFIGURATION
Using the notebook external monitor port
If your notebook has its own external display port available for use, you may wish to connect a
display to it and activate it as well. This enables the following Windows XP configurations, with
the notebook external monitor port driving monitor #2:
The notebook external display is usually only an independent display under Windows XP. Most
Windows 2000 notebooks cannot address the #2 external monitor as an independent display, but
can use the #2 external monitor as a mirror (clone) of the notebook display. (Some users will
activate this external clone display and then turn off the notebook LCD.)
Because the external port is on the same internal controller as your notebook’s own built-in
display, you should only need to connect a display and activate it in Display Properties.
