If you have selected Simultaneous under the Display options of the

Hardware Setup or TSETUP program, both the external monitor and the

internal LCD will be active when you turn on the computer. If
Auto-Selected

is chosen, only the external monitor will be active.

To change the display settings, press Fn + F5. If you disconnect the

monitor before you turn the computer off, be sure to press Fn + F5 to

switch to the internal display. Refer to Chapter 5,

The Keyboard

, for

details on using hotkeys to change the display setting.

Simultaneous display will not work if the external monitor, or other

device such as a projector, supports only VGA mode (640 x 480). This is

because the computer operates in the higher resolution Super VGA (800 x

600) or XGA (1024 x 768). In this case, choose Auto-Selected in

Hardware Setup or press Fn + F5 to switch to the external display.
