Hi guys I'm trying to get a laptop (running RHE4) to use both the monitor that
comes with the laptop an a external monitor but some it will not work. Here is
the testing I have done so far;
Trying using the Fn key (no reaction, this will alway works on windows but maybe it does not work on Linux?)
Try re-configuring the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but every setting I choose leave
me with the same the only output I have is out the external
Does any know if were linux looks to get this to work, maybe there is another config file I can play with.
Thank you

You might want to try asking the Acpi4Linux project:
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/
You may have to send one of the maintainers there your dsdt file.
Of course you at least have acpid running and and apmd not running,
right? Have you looked in /proc/acpi to see if there are settings
specific to your laptop?
Most special buttons and <FN+key> key sequences are handled explicitly
in software on laptops. Sometimes you have to find out what key codes
are generated by those buttons or keys and then write your own scripts
to make use of those button/key events.
For instance, look here for how this is done on Asus laptops:
