Hi Mike,

sorry for the late reaction.

Which version of X do you use? 

I have a nearly reasonable solution. No graphical login manager, before 
'startx' with Fn F7 enable only the external TFT. Then solution is correct. 
But the internal display remains not disabled (=black). It becomes gray with 
colored vertical stripes. 

Ok normally that does not matter, I close the notebook and work with external 
mouse and keyboard. I thought the internal display then is getting completely 
deactivated (=black)!? But it is not totally black, you could lightly see the 
stripes still a little bit. After a few hours I reenable the internal display 
and can see this stripes for a quite time on the screen. After perhaps 20 
Minutes they disappear. But I'm worrying that this is the first stage of a 
'burnin effect'!?

After starting the X Server with the external display, Fn F7 does not work 
anymore :-(

Any further hints?

Thanks in advance...
