External Monitor on Trident CyberBladeXP (HP Pavilion n5415)

["Julian L. Hunter" <julianh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

   I have asked part of this question before and tried all the 
feedback, but still no luck. All I want to do is have the display a) on 
the LCD or b) on the external monitor on my desk. Seems simple enough 
right? Well after many weeks of frustration and despair, I am still at 
square one. I have tried the <fn>-<f5> combination (which is what works 
under Windows), no luck. So then I tried the Display "Option" "CRT", and 
this causes the LCD not to show the picture but does not display it on 
the CRT (so no diaply at all). I followed this by "BIOS" another option 
I found somewhere on the web, still no luck. So I have a few questions,

   1) Is this possible with the current Trident driver (I took the one 
from http://xfree86.org/~alanh on Dec 1, 2002)? If so, how would I go 
about this?

   2) The key codes do not show up anywhere (the <fn>-<f5> ones), how 
do these normally work on other laptops,are they intercepted by the BIOS 
and then processed or shoudl they generate key codes?

   3) Is there a list of TODO's for the trident driver?

   4) Finally, Has anyone on thsi list gotten this working?

   If I ama asking these questions in the wrong place please let me know.

Anxiously waiting,
JLH.
