I have this Port replicator and was wondering if the DVI port is incompatable with my system. I have Thinkpad R40 2722-BBG. Thanks,


There is almost no documentation on which systems support DVI, and which do not.

If I where to guess, I would say no, but the best way to find out is to simply attach a DVI display and see if it works.

If you find out, either way, let us know.

Does anybody know anything about the compatibility to Linux in general? Does anything work without problems?

Is it really compatible with the R52 (1860), it's not listed on the IBM/Lenovo website [[1]].

Thank you

No problem whatsoever with T41 and this replicator in Linux. I have most of the ports in use, except DVI.

Limitations of video signal output

Apparently, some thinkpad port replicators II and some thinkpads don't play well with the video signal when connected.

This is not a general problem of all thinkpads and all port replicators, so I have removed the only report so far to the talk page. Please update the topic, and when we get some sort of idea of what is affected by what, we can update the main page.

Screen resolution restricted to 640x480 when attached to the port replicator. Without, 1024x768 (on a T40 2373-12G) possible.
