No idea about Sonys but my Ubuntu on Compaq seems to do the whole screen thing just the same as Windows... use the Fn-F4 or whatever...
Never had a problem with it in the past... perhaps it's broken in the latest version? Must admit I haven't tried it for a few months... Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
