Hi Having just tried touse 10.3 on the laptop i use for presentations every
second week i found last night that i can no longer switch between the
built in display and the large screen display i use at the club .

This has always worked flawlessly under 10.2 using the Fn+F4 keys to switch
as per keyboard .

Laptop is an Compaq Presario V5030 Turion 64 bit with pesky ATI M200
graphics chip ..


Ideas please needed working for Tuesday 13th november ..


I found out that on my Dell the Fn-F8 combo works only while the boot
screen is present. If once the kdm kicks in, this combo no longer
works. And if I switch while on boot screen, the kdm becomes broken,
and X does not start. I have no idea why.

But the next thing I found out is, that if I boot the laptop while the
second monitor (projector) is connected, it will boot initially only
on the build-in screen, but when kdm (X) starts, it will display on
both of them.

And yes, with 10.2, I was able to use fn-F8 whenever I wanted to.

So, you may try to connect the projector and then boot, and see if
this workaround works for you.
