OK - makes sense. My nVidia card is an onboard GeForce 7100 on my
desktop. I'm not sure which series ATI card is on this ThinkPad T400
yet, but it also as this auto-switchable graphics mode that goes between
"Internal" Intel graphics and "Discrete" ATI Graphics. The model is a
2765-T6U. I had to disable that feature in CMOS for any video to work at
all.

Cheers,

Chris
