. Before we proceed, a few terms should be defined:

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

Desktop Area: This is the physical size that Windows OS will use to display the desktop. If this

.

.

 

 

 

.

size is smaller than the resolution of the Portable’s LCD, then the desktop will show centered on

.

.

 

 

 

.

the LCD, with a black border around it. If the size is larger than the resolution of the Portable’s

.

.

 

 

 

.

LCD, then the user will see a partial desktop, with the ability to pan to the remaining area.

.

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. CRT/Projector Resolution: the resolution set for the external display device. For systems with a

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. single graphics controller, it is hard-coded to be the same as the internal LCD, for simultaneous

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. display modes, and to be any supported mode for external display-only. For systems with a dual

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. graphics controller, the resolution can be set to any of the external supported modes, independent

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. of the resolution of the internal LCD.

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

In addition, the Fn-F4 hotkey can be used to affect which display output is enabled.

.

.

 

 

 

.

UT I L I T I E S PROV I DED FOR ARM ADA PRODUCTS

.

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

The following utilities are provided on Armada products, for ease of use:

..

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. Fn-T: If for some reason the user must set the resolution to something smaller than the native

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. screen resolution, the image will appear centered and with a black border, when shown on the

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. internal computer display and in simultaneous display mode. The Fn-T hotkey stretches the image

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

. to fill as much of the screen as possible.

.

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

.

Fn-F4: A hot key combination to cycle between internal, external, and simultaneous displays.
