Hi Bob,

Sorry to have to tell you, but you won't be able to do anything about that.
The video is entirely built-in to a laptop and usually can't be upgraded.
The only port you could plug something into would be a PCMCIA port, and
even if they made video cards in this format (I haven't seen one), it would
only be able to driver an external monitor.

The only solution for a laptop would be a new laptop with compatible
graphics. :-(
