If I then start X I can work on both of them. If I attach the external monitor after I started X then there is no way to enable the external monitor. Do you have any clue on how to enable it in X? Cheers Maurizio.

Tobias Roth writes: > One thing you can try is to use FN+F7 from console first, that > should work. I can not switch to the external monitor in console mode nor while running X. If I press Fn+F7 nothing happens. Furthermore, if I change the BIOS settings to display boot messages on both the internal display and the external display, they /only/ show on the external display. I can run X just fine, but can't switch to the internal display either in console or under X. If I set the BIOS to use the internal display I can run X just fine. If I set the BIOS t use the external display I can run X just fine on the external display. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments are intended for specific individuals or entities, and may be confidential, proprietary or privileged.
