I'm not familiar with your laptop, but most laptops have a way to switch back and forth between the internal display and an external display via the internal keyboard. On the IBM ThinkPad machines that I use (a 600 and a 390E) it is Fn+F7. Consult your hardware documentation. Switching between the two is much easier if your external monitor is an LCD monitor. The internal display probably runs at 60 Hz vertical refresh. The external monitor, if it is an LCD display, will probably want to run at 60 Hz vertical refresh also. An external CRT monitor, however, will probably have noticeable flicker at 60 Hz vertical refresh. It will want to use a higher vertical refresh rate: at least 72 Hz. Switching back and forth dynamically between internal and external monitors is tricky if they want to use different resolutions and refresh rates. It often won't work. -- .''`.
