Install xbindkeys: sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config Get this python script: * {{:howtos:aticonfig_switch.py|aticonfig_switch.py}} and place it e.g. in ~/bin Make it executable: chmod +x aticonfig_switch.py Now run: xbindkeys-config and bind the script to a key kombination. I use //Winkey+S//. The next time you resume after having docked or resuming in the dock you just wait to the login dialog comes up (the one you cannot see :-P), type in the password and press the key kombination. You should now get the screen to your monitor after a couple of seconds. //Source: http://cpbotha.net //
