I will shortly be recieving a portable for the purpose of giving demos for a class. My original plan was to put BSDI on it (go with what you know, right?) but there is a potential fly in the ointment. As part of the demo, they are currently connecting a device to the VGA output port of the portable. This device can be placed on an overhead projector, and the entire class can see the result. It turns out that one toggles the screen display between the lcd and the display unit by doing a magic key sequence on the keyboard. If this key sequence won't work for BSDI, I'll have to drop back to DOS instead. Anybody got a portable that they're doing this sort of thing with? If so, let me know brand and sequence. Will summarize. -- scs: Tied for last on the Zwicky list with `zwicky'.
