I checked the BIOS and there are the following options for boot display |
24 |
device: |
25 |
|
26 |
ThinkPad LCD |
27 |
Analog (VGA) |
28 |
Digital on ThinkPad |
29 |
|
30 |
The first is selected and I have not touched it; ever. It appears that |
31 |
when the laptop boots with the external LCD connected, a signal is sent |
32 |
to the external monitor since I see a resolution note and a bit of a |
33 |
back light on the monitor. However none of the boot messages go to the |
34 |
external monitor. They stay on the laptop lcd. |

Thanks, |
