Hello,

I just installed a 5.0 snapshot on a thinkpad x201s.

I am trying to use an external monitor which is connected via the
docking station with the DisplayPort to the thinkpad.

When I reboot, I get into the bios menu and then press fn+f7 to make
sure that the external monitor is selected. Then the blue
messages appear on the external monitor.

After the boot, when I startx, the external monitor goes black and only the
laptop is on. Pressing again fn+f7 does not help.

Has anybody successfully used an external monitor on a docking station
with a DisplayPort connector?

I have used this laptop on a number of projectors and external
monitors successfully with obsd without having to play with
xorg.conf.

Any hint?

thanks
