    Hi!

    I'm using Acer Aspire 7720G, the one in my signature, together with external monitor connected via DE-15 port. My problem is that when I start the computer, it uses external monitor as primary screen until some operating system loads. After that, it switches to internal screen. I tired using the blue buttons (Fn+F5 mainly) and it didn't help.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Bump!

    Looks like I always ask questions no one knows how to answer. :(

    Does anyone have any experience with a problem such as this one? Any wild guesses on how to solve it?
