Pressing Fn+F5 switches the display from TFT to external monitor. Do you have any such key? This works without i855crt. Regards, Debarshi -- Universities are places of knowledge.

Only specific models have them. I am just about getting ready to sue HP IAC since the last laptop brought with freedos refuses to give feed to external mointor. The V3000 series of laptop based on Intel Express chipset can only do this vis an OS driver and guess what?

FreeDos is an OS, and Dell + HP are in most cases, quite happy to ship most server / custom workstation equipment with FreeDOS. Laptops, since they are more of a commodity, tend to not have that option though. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Would this work here? http://www.itworld.com/Comp/1214/061215frenchhp/ Every time we buy a laptop (and I am again going to buy one soon) I find that most of the offerings comes with WIndows bundled and we also end up paying for something we do not want. -- Regards, Sudev Barar ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
