A lot of laptop LCDs support that resolution.  Dumbass.

I havent run into that problem... yet.  Are you stretching a window across
both screens?

No, just trying to move it to the secondary screen.  It runs into a
wall somewhere off the right of the primary and never gets to the
secondary.  The only way it'll move to the secondary is to have both
displays set identically, right down to the color depth (the laptop
also has to run at reduced color-depth).

Hmm, I guess it could be the way the app is coded.  Does it happen with all
apps or just one in particular?   I still use some windows3.1-era apps that
won't move off the primary.

You misspelled the word "few".

So far I've only found a few.  The one that forced the issue is
Hummingbird Exceed.  It's kinda a gotta have for my job.  Ok, I
could put a RISC box in my office, but then I'd lose the huge
desktop (and likely get crappy 60Hz refresh rates - I would go
nuts!).

>As if YOU would really notice....hehe

Personally, it's quite obvious when something's running below 72~75Hz.
I get physically sick looking at monitors that go below 75Hz so I
don't see any reason why HE couldn't notice it.

The little lost angel & her featherhead's 2 cents worth of dreaminess.

Yes..I am sure you would but we are talking about a total idiot that thinks
a 15" should display 1600x1200...hehe

No, only a total idiot doesn't understand that LCDs are intended to be
used at their native resolution. ...in the case of this system
(ThinkPad A21p), that would be 1600x1200.  ...and yes, it's quite
readable at that resolution.  

Don't knock it if you can't afford it. Nitwit!  hehe.
