Good Morning Alex,

Thank for your replay, I have the time ;-)
I have some good news.

I check on Gnome and the [Fn] F7 works find, but on KDE 4.2 this fonction d=
oesn't work any more.
I launch the command line into KDE terminal : xrandr --output VGA1 --auto n=
othing appears if I replave VGA1 by VGA my external monitor works.
What do you think ? it a KDE bug ?

Thanks your help, I send this info to KDE Team and if I have a clear status=
 I share with you.

Have a nice day

Armel
