I got a netbook for free. One problem. The screen is busted. I went a head and took it out which was a pain in the ass. Anyway, I hooked it up to a 17" Sony CRT and booted it up. It will POST, show the XP loading screen, then it will go black. The netbook boots up fine and can get into the desktop. Is there a way to keep it so it will stay on the ext monitor?
Miscellaneous Operating Systems/Hardware
EXT Monitor on AAO Netbook
The video driver probably sees the VGA port as a second monitor and not as a mirrored output from the VGA.

I wonder if you can set which display is primary in the BIOS?

Isn't it like FN + F7 or something on most pc laptops to switch display modes?

Tried the manual?
If by "AAO" you mean the Acer Aspire One - only took three clicks from the first hit in a google search for "Acer Aspire One Manual" to turn up this:
Using the external VGA port on the Aspire One
If that doesn't do it, you can always download a copy of the entire manual to peruse at your leisure.

This has helped out, found out that I cant switch screens till I have the internal lcd hooked back up.
