The nv driver does not support the Quadro 140M NVS. You need to use the proprietary nVidia driver. This is not a shortcoming of the chip or the computer. Don't torture yourself with the VESA fallback driver. - patson

Hey,

Has anyone tried to hookup a large external LCD to a notebook with this chip? By large I mean resolutions like 1680x1050 or 1920x1200. According to nVidia's specs the chip should be able to run such resolutions in analogue, but I wonder if anyone has actually tried this.

  -Radek

I use 1680x1050 20" LCD via DVI (on dock) and directly via D-SUB. No problems here. Nvidia can handle up to 2500x1400 or little bit greater resolution.
