I've found that this is really more of an issue with X (XFree) and not FreeBSD. The function keys for switching displays work fine. X, on the other hand, doesn't play nice all of the time when I switch the display. When I don't have X running switching between the LCD and an external monitor works great. Once I have the external monitor running I'll run X and all is well. -- Colin E.
