I am running SuSE 7.3 on a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop, and these 
computers will toggle between its own monitor and an external one when 
you press FN + F8.  I have done that when it was running Windows.  Would 
I be inviting disaster to try it running Linux?  When I installed Linux, 
I set the screen for an LCD screen.  Will this affect the external 
screen.  Will there be a momentarily satisfying, yet ultimately 
dispiriting explosion or anything if I try it?
