Oh I figure out that one…on the device type selection screen you must not click any option for the second monitor…It’s suggest that for the next version a “None” selection should be added to the list of second devices…

Question also:

How can I change my display scheme to monitor only with this tool…I cannot not seem to create one that transfer graphic completely to an external monitor; however such function exist as a alternative to the scheme list for the Fn+F7 behaviour…is there any way to add an external display only option in the scheme list?

Question.

The disable screensaver option during powerpoint presentations seem to not work when the windows GPO to enable screensavers after 15m is applied. Is this correct?

Sure, Presentation Director would be great if it didn’t get confused all the time and fail to apply display profiles, and if the Fn+F7 hotkey didn’t stop working after about a week.

Presentation Director does not show the correct resolution for my external monitor. the only choice is 640×480. How can I set a resolution of 1200×1600?

Now I have to go into my graphics card setting or into windows to make the change.

Thank you,

I second the more than 4 positions selection.

Is there some way to save the position settings so that Presentation manger remembers the setting when I switch back to the multiple monitor profile. I have a 1600 by 1200 external so it does not match with the 768-1024 screen very well. I want it to align the bottom of the displays when I select the left position, not the top. That would mean the alignment would resemble the physical locations of screens and be much more intuitive.

But good job otherwise.

+1 for #11 and #12.

Two issues that need fixes soon:
1. Enable the “When Notebook is docked” setting in Vista.
2. In the “Edit > Display > Position” dialog, instead of just 4 positions (above, below, left, right) allow users to drag screens around because very often the default alignment is not correct and needs to be fixed using the Windows display panel.

Another suggestion: adding a Help file for this app will be useful too!

Just wanted to second the comment that the option to apply a display scheme immediately upon docking is sorely missed after my recent upgrade to Vista. I would be grateful if you / your team / Lenovo could address this issue and correct the icon rearrangement problems so many users are reporting at forum.thinkpads.com. Aside from these small but obvious issues, congratulations on a very useful application.
