    Hi, when using an external monitor, how do you choose the external monitor that you have connected via hdmi...as your primary monitor, so that the laptop monitor turns off. Only option available is the extended display. And while that is ok, I don't want the monitor on the laptop to be on when using the external display. I'm using 10.4 drivers FYI. I would think there should be an option to use the external display as your primary display, when you don't want to use the laptop display.

    Fn + F-something. Probably F2 (not at home with my darling w860cu). You can figure it out based on the tiny picture on the key that sorta looks like a monitor.
