I doubt this has anything to do with the OS. It is completely a function of the hardware. I've had several laptops under Linux (Mandrake 6.0, Mandrake 8.1, SUSE 9.1-10.2) and the switching occurs when the hardware wants it to. On my dell it happens when I press the button. On the HP it happens when I reboot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
