Re: [Thinkpad] Video Driver for TP 770X

It's probably not another driver you need, XP is supposed to already have the one you need. But display settings are not preserved
in an upgrade; maybe there's one you've missed. Here are a few suggestions. The one I think is least obvious is the checkbox to
auto-detect the monitor; I would have expected a global PnP setting to apply.

I don't use XP, so your procedures will be different. In fact, don't you have a wizard that handles both monitor and adapter? But
the settings themselves should be the same.

First I'd check Device Manager - both Display Adapter and Monitors to see what IS recognized as installed. If one or both are
missing, I'd go back to Display Properties-Settings-Advanced- If monitor was missing from Device Manager, choose Monitor. Make sure
"Automatically detect Plug & Play monitors" and "Reset display on suspend/resume" are both checked. Then Change and select your
monitor from the list (might have to ask for list of all to be displayed).

If the Auto-detect had been unchecked, re-boot to detect the monitor. Is it still missing in Settings?

If the adapter was missing in Device Manager, do the comparable exercise in Display Properties-Settings-Advanced-Adapter.

If you also have an Advanced-Displays tab, make sure the TP screen is selected as primary.
