Hi, In this case I guess I have to run a separate cable for audio. VGA will carry only video. Am I right? Thanx/NSP

But I should have remembered that nearly all laptops allow the turning off of their internal display when an external one is connected. If the original poster's laptop won't run two displays at separate resolutions, turning off the built in panel very well could be the solution, as there would be no need to try and get both displays running properly at the same resolution.
