On my machine this key doesn't do anything unless I use Windows. On http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Lenovo_3000_V100 it says: The monitor switching button emits a scancode but is not tied to a keycode. Obviously under Windows the screen is switched by software.

The problem seems to be that the BIOS sets the external monitor as the default output device if it is already plugged when the computer is switched on.

Have you tried booting (with the device plugged in) into single user mode, then trying to convince the system to use the built in screen as the default device (fn-f7 on my machine), and finally exiting the single user shell to go multiuser? (One could also hit fn-f7 while the system has the grub screen displayed and then go straight to multiuser.) I need to use such tricks since my laptop is 1680x1050 while the external monitor is 1600x1200. I find that having the (text) output already directed to the external monitor (mine defaults to internal) prior to xdm/gdm invocation is useful (necessary?) to get 1600x1200 resolution. allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

In the log it says: (EE) I810(1): Set VBE Mode failed! (Entire log and xorg.conf: see attachment) I adapted the xorg.conf from http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_950 .
