On a laptop the display is normally controlled by the "function key" on the laptop or "fn" key + F key "that will have a monitor image on the F key". -- Jimmy Johnson Ubuntu Lucid and Trinity KDE 3.5.11 - EXT4 at sda10 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If "fn" key + F key works for you, well and good. If not please post the output of the command 'xrandr' with the extra display connected.
