BTW: Even if switching works when bios or grub is active, it doesn't
mean that fn-f7 is working. On my X60s I can switch during bootup
but no chance to get it done, when linux is running. I can use the acpi
events to grab the toggle of fn-f7, but it doesn't help since I can't
switch the screen in software. So I'm stuck with "clone", too.
