Guys,
I tried the combination FN+F7 already since it is the standard way also
for Windows (I used the same HW on windows for years) but it seems to not
be working here on BSD.
Should I specify something in the XClient settings?
Thank you very much anyway for you kind response.
Cheers,
Maurizio

You need to either boot with the external monitor already attached or
press the monitor-switch button. On my IBM, this is the F7 key together
with the blue FN modifier key.
Or else check out the manual that came with your laptop.
cheers,
Tobias
