Just tried it out. The answer is no. But its better than the behaviour
at 1400x1050.
At the lower resolutions (and terminal mode = not using X), I can cycle
between CRT and LCD *but never the LCD+CRT* state. At 1400x1050,
touching Fn+F7 spells trouble as it results in a totally distorted
display on the LCD screen....never mind cycling between the LCD and CRT.
When this happens, trying to get a normal display on the LCD screen is a
convoluted process of trial and error (changing to a virtual terminal or
at the worst case, having to re-cyle X).
