Correct, boot with CD and there are only two options: create partition

This is most likely a power management issue, possibly addressed by the ACPI driver. I would suggest reporting this condition on the appropriate mailing list.

Kudos for getting the hibernation to work, however. :-)

Thanks but I deserve no credit.  The hibernation utility had been
mentioned on this list some time ago -- don't have the name of the
person handy -- and as I was repartitioning the harddisk anyway, it was
easy to lay down this partition as the first one on the disk.

As for reporting it, I would think an eCS ticket would be most
appropriate -- perhaps this has even been fixed in eCS 2.0??

Now I'd love to be able to run the external monitor separately from the
LCD, i.e., split the desktop between them and ideally be able to set
the resolution separately.  Sadly, I think this is definitely not
possible with the SNAP driver...

I don't think it is a 'driver' issue; rather a hardware issue.  I think
there is really only one logical device and the BIOS [switched via
Fn-F7] determines where the data actually goes.

I am not sure of the card in the T43 but my T42 I am able to split the desktop between LCD and monitor but I cannot set the resolution seperately (e.g. I set base resolution of 1400x1050 and across both monitors it is 2800x1050).  For the laptops only ATI cards will do this as far as I know and then it is not a "supported" feature (not that SNAP has support at this point) but works quite well (worked with ATI mobility radeon 7500 ad 9600 here).

OK, I'm obviously wrong...

So, how do you do this 'splitting of the desktop' trick?
