thanks -- that's encouraging.  :-)

i'm not quite sure what "ibm-acpi scripts" you're referring to --
so i think maybe ubuntu (i'm running edgy) doesn't ship with
them.  there are these: 
    /etc/acpi/events/ibm-{hibernate,lockbtn,sleepbtn,videobtn,wireless}
but nothing ibm specific (besides ibm-wireless.sh) in /etc/acpi
itself.

when i use the function key, i cycle through three states, and the
LCD is on for two of them.  the external screen is on for just one
of them.

i actually think it may be my xorg.conf file -- i think X isn't managing
the external output correctly.  if it's convenient, do you suppose
i could see your xorg.conf?
