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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
