The X11 2D driver (i810) included in FC5 does not have 945GM support. By default SuSE is just enabling clone mode in the X11 config file. Has nothing to do with ACPI or hotkey switching. It is likely in you /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, you add the following to the "Device" section where the "i810" driver parameters are set, then the external display will be enabled: Option "Clone" "yes" Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" I just copied this out of the xorg.conf from SLED 10 RC1.
