When I connect an external monitor (Projector or another monitor) to the external display interface WHEN BOOTING, the display defaults to the external monitor and my internal/LCD monitor shows nothing. When I disconnect the external monitor and boot the OS before reconnecting the external monitor, my display doesn't get sent to the external monitor even though I have dual monitor mode enabled in SaX2 in Clone mode. Any ideas or similar experiences? Include your distro and laptop please. Ricardo
