I tried Fn F4 combination in previous test which works for Windows, but without response at all. It works for Windows, so I think the BIOS or Key pair should not be the problem. Any way, thank you for your suggestion, and I will take a look at BIOS next time I restart the machine to make it sure. 2008/4/26 Eric Schuele <e.schuele@computer.org>: > On 04/26/2008 04:29, Kemian Dang wrote: > > Hi Vince and Roland, > > > > Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately, they did not work. > > > > I closed the laptop, connected the monitor and restarted the laptop, > > "xrandr -q" only gave the information of integrated monitor, no > > external monitors' information and "xrandr --auto" did not give any > > information. > > Some laptops require you to either enable the external VGA output in the > BIOS, and/or use a function key to enable the output. > > > > > > I also tries "sysctl -a |grep enable", the output is: > > > > kern.smp.forward_roundrobin_enabled: 1 > > kern.smp.forward_signal_enabled: 1 > > vm.swap_enabled: 1 > > vm.swap_idle_enabled: 0 > > vm.idlezero_enable: 0 > > vfs.nfs.nfs_directio_enable: 0 > > vfs.vmiodirenable: 1 > > net.inet.tcp.sack.enable: 1 > > net.inet.tcp.inflight.enable: 1 > > net.inet.sctp.ecn_enable: 1 > > hw.firewire.phydma_enable: 1 > > hw.pci.enable_msix: 1 > > hw.pci.enable_msi: 1 > > hw.pci.enable_io_modes: 1 > > hw.apic.enable_extint: 0 > > machdep.enable_panic_key: 0 > > security.bsd.suser_enabled: 1 > > > > There seems no entry about monitor -- If I miss something please advice me. > > > > PS.
