The computer enters the Sleep or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed. If you
want to use the computer with the LCD closed, set Do Nothing to the “When I Close
the lid” option in the Power Options Æ System Settings Properties. Thus the
computer does not enter the Sleep or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed.
Configuring the Display Modes
NOTE: When using an external CRT monitor, the resolution depends on the CRT
monitor’s supported resolution.
Your computer has been set to a default resolution and number of colors
before shipment. You can view and change display settings through your
operating system. See your operating system documentation or online
help for specific information.
For displaying in higher resolutions, you can connect an external monitor
that supports higher resolutions. (See “Connecting an External Monitor”
in Chapter 4 for more information.)
