I just tested this. 1. If you are using bluetooth, apparently you don't get your display up until after login. 2. With the edge, you can log in with the display on usb and then switch to bluetooth and the display should come up again just fine. It doesn't matter whether or not you unplug the usb cable; once it is switched to bluetooth, usb will be ignored.
Hth. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
