enable Resume and the computer will maintain the data as it is displayed
on the external monitor.

When you turn on the power, the computer automatically recognizes the monitor

neous displays. Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords.

active.
To change the display settings, press Fn + F5. If you disconnect the monitor
before you turn the computer off, be sure to press Fn + F5 to switch to the internal
display. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for details on using hotkeys to change
