Depends. I have a HP one that seems to contain a "logic" that switches from one GPU to the other depending on a HDMI connection being present, but displays the same image both on the LCD and the externel HDMI display. However, it would be helpful to verify the _exact_ hardware. With "pciconf -lv | less" and looking for a "display" entry, one or two should be found. An entry for nVidia might look like this (desktop card): vgapci0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x06201462 chip=0x039210de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS (G73)' class = display subclass = VGA Or for Intel, in a Lenovo Thinkpad R61i: vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x20b517aa chip=0x2a028086 rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary)' class = display subclass = VGA vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x20b517aa chip=0x2a038086 rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary)' class = display As you can see - two instances of Intel graphics - I don't know if this is due to the fact that the R61i is in a docking station where the CRT monitor is connected - yes, it _is_ an actual CRT. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
