    no
    but i think i've done something wrong because when i press Fn+F8 it reacts.
    before it would say you need to connect an external monitor.

    what happened:
    i was playing FEAR and i just shut down my computer
    and now when i turn on my 1520 or close and open the lid it changes the resolution to 800x600
