I can't give your any answers, I've just been pondering how to make it work. I feel like I had this issue once, and I was able to do either one or the other with some software that controlled that laptops videocard. its a vague memory though.
i wonder if you could pipe the output from /dev/tty1 or whatever to the device for your VGA output and keep it running in the background or something. i just did sudo cat /dev/vcs1 and got what was printed on my virtual console 1. it was not in color though. Not sure if that helps at all. grant On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 4:58 AM, Dan S <[email protected]<danstowell%[email protected]> > wrote: > Hi - > > I'm not sure that this is possible: anyone know how to get the virtual > console to be displayed on the external display as well as on the > internal one?
