Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the plugging-in-with-lid-closed one tomorrow. With the other monitor plugged in, when I closed the lid, the monitor went black. I could not wake it up by hitting the spacebar or whatever. The only way I could wake it up was by lifting the lid. So, I guess you're saying that plugging in the monitor into the MacBook's dvi outlet will wake it up even though the lid is closed. I'll give it a shot.
The link to the Apple page suggests something that I already tried (that did not work). I guess it's not applicable to Intel MacBooks. Thanks again, Robert
