Vista registry hack for IBM T41 Notebook

Via Chris Perillo
I'm not sure if this is for public consumption, but I've learned about a workaround for my Windows Vista build 5219 LCD resolution hiccup (wherein the screen won't slide past 800x600). I've confirmed through a new digital friend that this registry hack indeed works for our laptop, the IBM Thinkpad T41p:
  1. Run REGEDIT
  2. Locate HKLM \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Video \ (BLAHBLAH) \ 0001, where (BLAHBLAH) is a GUID with a whole bunch of keys under it
  3. Change the value with DALRULE_GETLCDFAKEEDID to 0
  4. Reboot
