Display Options

Besides the built-in LCD, you can also use an external VGA monitor (CRT) or TV as your display device. A VGA monitor connects to the external monitor (CRT) port, a TV to the S-Video-Out port. The display options are below:

Table 1 - Display Options

Display Mode	Windows XP	Windows 2000
Single	✓	✓
Multiple - Clone Mode	✓	✓
Multiple - Extended Desktop Mode	✓	Not Available
Single - Either the LCD, CRT or TV as a display device. Multiple (Clone) - The LCD, CRT or TV outputting the same view (you can apply different display modes with different resolutions and refresh rates). Multiple (Extended Desktop) -The LCD, CRT or TV outputting a different view (In Windows XP only - not available in Windows 2000).

Clone Mode and Extended Desktop Mode

Clone mode simply shows an exact copy of the Primary display desktop on the other display(s). This mode will drive multiple displays with the same content. The system supports Extended Desktop mode (the LCD and a CRT showing different views) in multiple display environments in Windows XP, but this mode is NOT supported in Windows 2000. An Extended Desktop creates a desktop spanning multiple displays and acts as a large workspace.

Enabling Other Displays & Extended Desktop Mode

Attach a monitor or TV to the appropriate port. In the Advanced ATI Mobility Radeon Properties (Figure 8 on page 19) click on Displays to get the other display options, including those for TV (different OS's will appear with different options). Click the enable/disable button for the display device you wish to use. Select ONE display as Primary, the remaining as the Clone (the Clone may operate in either Clone Mode, or Extended Desktop Mode).

Enabling Extended Desktop Display Mode

Figure 9 - Enabling Other Displays & Extended Desktop

Click either the Display pop-up menu, or click the icon for the appropriate display. Then click the tick box to extend the primary display's desktop to it.

1. Enable the display as above.
2. Use the Display Properties window to select the second monitor by clicking on the icon, or by selecting it from the "Display:" pop-up menu.
3. Click "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor."
4. Click Apply (click Yes to keep the settings if prompted).

With the Extended Desktop Mode enabled, drag any icons or windows across to the other display desktop. It is therefore possible to have one program visible in one of the monitors, and a different program visible in the other monitor.

Power Management Features

The Power Options control panel in Windows allows you to configure power management features for your computer. You may conserve power through individual components such as the monitor or hard disk, or you may use either Standby or Hibernate mode to conserve power throughout the system (enable Hibernate support from the Control Panel as pictured in Figure 10).

Figure 10 - Power Options

The computer's power button, sleep button (Fn + F4 key combination), and close cover switch may be set to send the computer in to either Standby or Hibernate mode.

The notebook feels too hot.	Make sure the notebook is properly ventilated and the fan port is not blocked. If this doesn't cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure the vents aren't blocked and the computer isn't sitting on a thermal surface. Make sure you're using the correct adapter.
The computer takes longer during Startup.	Data saved on the hard disk drive may be lost or damaged. Operate the scan disk or disk defragmenter to check for any lost or damaged data. The computer is waking up from the Hibernate mode.
You forget the boot password.	If you forget the password, you may have to discharge the battery of the CMOS. Contact your service representative for help.
The compact disc tray will not open when there is a disc in the tray.	The compact disc is not correctly placed in the tray. Gently try to remove the disc using the eject hole. See “CD Emergency Eject” on page 14.
The DVD regional codes can no longer be changed.	The code has been changed the maximum 5 times. See “DVD Regional Codes” on page 14.
Unwelcome numbers appear when typing.	If the LED is lit, then Number Lock is turned ON. Press and release the Fn + NumLk key combination.
I have installed a new external keyboard or mouse but cannot use all of the listed functions.	You have not installed the driver to enable any extra functions. Make sure you read the documentation which comes with any new external device, and make sure you install the driver for it as this will allow you to access any extra functions which come with your device.
The Wireless LAN or Bluetooth module cannot be detected/ configured.	The ON/OFF switch has not been switched ON. Make sure you have set the ON/OFF switch to ON in order to enable the module. The ON/OFF switch has been switched ON, but you have both the Wireless LAN and Bluetooth modules in your computer. Use the Fn + F12 key combination to toggle power to the modules. DO NOT enable power and attempt to use both modules at the same time as this may cause a conflict. The driver(s) for the module(s) have not been installed. Make sure you have installed the driver for the appropriate module.

Hyper-Threading

You can enable (the default setting is "Disabled") Hyper-Threading from the Advanced Menu in the BIOS Setup Utility. Hyper-Threading is only supported in computers with 3.06GHz processors. If you do not have this Processor the menu option will not appear.

Figure 11 - Advanced BIOS Menu

To Enable the Hyper-Threading Option

1. To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 during the startup process.
2. Use the arrow keys to get to the Advanced menu, and to select the CPU Hyper-Threading item.
3. Enable the CPU Hyper-Threading option.
4. Press F10 to save and exit the BIOS Setup.
5. Pay careful attention to the notes below.

Hyper-Threading is only supported in Windows XP, so DO NOT enable this option if you are using Windows 2000.

If you have updated the Flash ROM BIOS from a previous version, which did not have the CPU Hyper-Threading option, you must reinstall Windows XP after the BIOS update. Once you have enabled Hyper-Threading, DO NOT disable the option or the computer may not startup (returning to the BIOS and enabling the option will correct this in case of accidental disabling of the option). If you are changing the processor from a CPU which supports Hyper-Threading, to one which does not, you will need to reinstall your OS.
