[ltp] External screen on a R30 with RH8.0

[Patric HAGMANN]

Hi,
I have a thinkpad R30 on which I have installed a dual boot (Red Hat 8.0 
and winXP).
I tried to plug an external screen on it but under RH8.0 the function 
keyboard combination (Fn-F7) does not work. So I cannot switch to an 
external screen.

Has anyone of you sorted a similar problem.
Here below is my XF86Config.

Many Thanks,
Patric

NB: Under winXP the external screen works fine.
