For DOS, use the PS2 command to change the display output
location.
Type PS2 SC BOTH to display information on both the LCD
and external monitor.
Type PS2 SC CRT to display information only on the external
monitor.

Important
If you are using OS/2 Warp, do not use System in the System
Setup folder to change the resolution or color depth. Use the
ThinkPad Configuration program to configure the monitor.
Do not disconnect the external monitor while the computer
is in suspend mode or hibernation mode. If no external
monitor is attached when the computer resumes, the LCD
remains blank and output is not displayed. This restriction
does not depend on the resolution value.
