External Video - 760 & Win 95



Hello everyone struggling with their external monitor attached to their 760
running Windows 95.

Here's how you get the damn thing to work.

Reboot, hold down the F1 key.
When the EZ-Setup menu comes up, go to 'config' and select 'system board'.
The BIOS date should be at least January 30, 1996 and the last two numbers
of the BIOS part number should be '30' or higher.  If not, you need to grab
the BIOS update from http://www.pc.ibm.com/listfiles.html.

sytpf110.exe dated Feb 6th

Once your BIOS is current then all you need are the following files:

vtp76095.exe dated Oct. 29th -  Cyber video driver for Win95 
(extract .exe -> Display Properties -> Settings -> Change Display Type
->Have Disk)

uttp1311.exe - Updated utilities 1/3 dated Feb. 26
uttp2301.exe - Updated utilities 2/3 dated Feb. 26
uttp3101.exe - Updated utilities 3/3 dated Feb. 15

Once you install all this stuff go to ThinkPad Features, select the 'CRT
only' button, go to the Display and you should have full use of all the
buttons (resolution, refresh rates, etc.)  If not, you may want to turn off
the enhanced video (upper right button for video capture) reboot and try again.

I've now got 1024x768x8bpp cruising at 75Hz on an external monitor from a
760CD/P120.

Regards,
-Ted
