This is the correct answer. A very quick Google found the manual. https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01909626.pdf How: I Googled "hstnn-i70c" to find the name. It is an HP Mini 100. Then I googled: hp mini 110 switch display keystroke The answer is on p58: « Switching the screen Press fn+f2 to switch the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a monitor is connected to the computer, pressing fn+f2 alternates the screen image from computer display to monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor. NOTE: You must use a VGA cable (purchased separately) to connect an external display, such as a monitor or projector, to the external monitor port on the computer. Most external monitors receive video information from the computer using the external VGA video standard. The fn+f2 hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving video information from the computer. The following video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f2 hotkey: ● LCD (device display) ● External VGA (most external monitors) » -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 227612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
