    I just got my S2110 yesterday....put fingerprints all over it....set up my wireless and now I am trying to get the laptop to display on both the laptop screen and the projector that I have hooked up to the back auxilary port.

    Using 'Fn' + 'F10' it successfully toggles between projector and laptop screen. However there is never a time when both displays are on. The manual states that both displays will activate if the combination is pressed 3 times....but it is not the case with me. I have downloaded the latest ATI driver from Fujitsu site to no avail.

    Anyone else have this issue? Is there another driver/utility that anyone can recommend?

    -thanks

    Huh, it should...I assume you're plugged into the VGA port? Also check the display settings to make sure the resolution for the projector is set, maybe it's having trouble with that.

    I am plugged into the VGA port. This problem exists with the projector as well as any desktop monitor that I plug into the VGA port. Many of my coworkers with S2020's have this same odd behavior....I'm stumped.

    Go to the ATI control panel, in the display tab you could select what outputs you want activated.

    To get to the ati control panel: right click on desktop > properties > settings > advanced >display

    you're welcome. You might want to update the drivers also.
