OK, here's a an OT, I can't wait...

I have a seven year  old  IBM 760XL Laptop somebody
gave me for free with all the trimmings  (with 2 different docking bays)
that likes to switch over to the VGA port  every time it boots completely
up.  The LCD panel is seen for the  period right after power-on to the time
the OS starts.  I haven't seen  LCD control in the BIOS start-up
(powerswitch+F1) or in the Control  Panel.  I want to tell it to keep the LCD
display on  always.

Perhaps someone has worked with this particular  model?

Reply to me directly, if you intuit that this is not a true list  question.

BTW this is mechanically a pretty interesting machine.   You can
lift up the keyboard and change out any of this:  Batteries,spares,
Floppy,CD,HD, and memory, all using no tools at  all.

Thanks,
John  A.

I have this laptop too and have never had this problem. You can switch  using 
a function key, FN+F3 I think. What happens if you toggle through the  
LCD/external display options?
760XL is not a bad laptop because it does not have the crappy MWAVE  stuff. 
Only problems are the keyboard keys get hard to push due to wear.
