External Monitors again

[Earwicker]

This computer allows toggled redirection of video output via the CTL F4 key under ordinary cirumstances. Under WNOP the toggling appears disabled. I only use it when i want to watch movies online. So I don't want to hard-wire using the config file. Any ideas here? As I said, it's a clevo m55 line. Also, as an aside (writ large, PROBLEM) there is no video under skype or anything else with the bisoncam. Windoze uses ali560x chipset drivers, with good success. Linux, uh....linux......
With all this talent in this forum, SOMEBODY should know how to get this built-in webcam working under puppy. That would make me truly religious and i would never so much as touch a windows machine again....there...my soul for it...as to Microsoft, that is.
