Where can I get information on how to set up 9.2 in a laptop which I will be using alone a good part of the time, and sometimes, using a docking station with a larger monitor? Specifically, how do I set up the second monitor? Sax seems to limit me to one. I can't use "multi-head" because I have only one video card.This will be "either or" not "both" dj tuchler

YaST, System, Profile Manager will get the SCPM (System Configuration Profile Management) up and running. Check the list for a recent discussion. It was designed with laptops, docking stations and multiple locations in mind. Recent discussion was on other uses for servers, etc. Stan

The only problem would be if your docking station has an ethernet port, then that may come up as eth0, on mine, it was eth1 on 9.1, now it's eth0 with 9.2. With the monitor, there is a key combination that can switch video to the external monitor, assuming the docking station has a video port that mates with the external video port on the laptop. I used my laptop that way between home and work for a number of years. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====

Thank you for your note! How does one find out about all this? How did you find out? How do I find out about the proper key combination? Thanks again dj tuchler

It is documented in the manual for the laptops and we used the large screens connected to the docking stations that were on desks in our offices to make reading easy on the eyes. It's also something we look out for on all new laptops, as we need to use laptops with projectors for presentations. Our laptops also needed to be connected to the office LANs when working from our various offices. It differs on laptops depending on the manufacturer, Function-F10 on our first 2 Fujitu laptops, I can't remember what the 3rd. was and on the new Acer it is Function-F5 to switch video out and back. On the keyboard it's usually a small box in the shape of a screen under the F5 e.g or 2 small boxes side by side, one unshaded and the other shaded. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
