Thanks for the script. For me the script I mentioned does not work it
seems when I use it while the server is up  nothing is happening when
I switch the screen with Fn f7, the LCD stays blank (and the server is

I do not understand that part, what is . Config supposed to do, wehre
is the file .config?

    Carl-Fredrik> sleep 1
    Carl-Fredrik> #No screensaver during presentation please
    Carl-Fredrik> xset -display $EXTDSP s off

    Carl-Fredrik> # "remote" viewer i.e. the beamer
    Carl-Fredrik> vncviewer -fullscreen -shared -viewonly  -passwd $HOME/.vnc/passwd localhost$VNCSRV -display $EXTDSP &

    Carl-Fredrik> # local viewer
    Carl-Fredrik> xvncviewer -passwd $HOME/.vnc/passwd -shared $VNCSRV &
