Hi! I am just a Debian user who recently noticed this bug report... Personally, I don't have any laptop with Intel IGP, but I encountered a similar issue with a Savage-TwisterK-powered laptop: I only had LCD when booting without anything attached to the external VGA connector, or else only external VGA when booting with videoprojector attached. The Fn+F5 key combo used to work on sarge (and even on woody, IIRC), but does not seem to have any effect when using current lenny... After some research, I re-discovered s3switch, which I installed long ago and forgot about (since Fn+F5 was enough on sarge), and I successfully used it to switch between LCD and LCD+externalVGA. Does the similar i810switch package help in your case, as an alternative method to enable external VGA output? -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! .....................................................
