Hi Mike, Thanks again. I tried your little test: 1. Reboot. 2. At grub prompt, press ESC. 3. Hit fn+fk. Here, what happens is I see the grub menu being displayed alternately between the my laptop display and the external monitor, but never both on at the same time. My F8 button has the "CRT/LCD" label by the way. Do you think it's a BIOS issue or purely an X server problem?
Right now, by the way, what I have are like 2 different desktops. The mouse travels from my laptop screen to the external monitor if I move the mouse pointer to the right hand side of my laptop. The opposite happens when I move the mouse pointer to the left of the external display. It's not so bad, actually because I'll have bigger working space. But I would still like to have the good old "clone" display, especially when I have do presentation before an audience.
