A hint to detect the current state of the monitors - maybe this can be
used to ease the setup/switching of external monitors:
On my thinkspad a file in /proc displays the state of my monitors.
0.) Switch the external monitor on
by entering Fn + F7 (switch monitor icon)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video
status: supported
lcd: enabled
crt: disabled
dvi: disabled
auto: enabled
commands: lcd_enable, lcd_disable
commands: crt_enable, crt_disable
commands: dvi_enable, dvi_disable
commands: auto_enable, auto_disable
commands: video_switch, expand_toggle
