I'm also using an external monitor on my TP600. But when I switch from the
LCD to the external monitor I have to hit Fn-F7 3 times for the external
monitor to take over. Also, it seems to be running on the XF68 config file
that the IBM image loaded so at 60 Hz there's a lot of flicker.

absoulutely, I do that with my TP600 -- it has openlinux 2.2 installed
