Speaking of Fn + hotkeys... did anyone manage to make them work for a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 notebook?

I have patience... I was just bumping up the thread by appealing to other people's mercy. 
I actually can get the two monitors to work individually ... but I have to reboot after switching between the 2 xorg.conf's I have. And that's not very appealing for a solution.

OK... really... no-one knows?
My 22" BenQ is gathering mountains of dust and I can't make it work without a reboot...

Just a silly question, is the boot order set correctly in the BIOS settings? (CDROM first, HDD second...)

What GRUB prompt?... I don't know if the liveCD boot-menu is actually a GRUB bootloader... as far as I know it should at least get to the part where you need to press enter or write sth (like hd - for harddisk boot) and then press enter.
Did you see such a menu? If not it's most propably a bad burn -- in rare cases some bad burns actually work on the computer they were burned on but not on any other computer, it happened to me too and it was very frustrating.
Be sure to check the MD5Sum for the ISO before burning it and for the burned disk afterwards. If those are ok and it still won't boot, then there's an incompatibility problem between your laptop and #!.

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum so I'll start with a "nice to meet you all!".
Now about my problem: I'm trying to set up a configuration for my laptop so that I can switch between the laptop's default LCD and the external LCD (with options similar to the windows app that does that from the keyboard: either one monitor active or both in multiple configurations: clone, extended above, extended horizontal etc). I don't mind having to log out and back in for a certain configuration to work when changing between them.
First the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with AMD/ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 video card. I've managed to get the fglrx driver from the repos to work on the 2.6.27-9-server kernel (I have 4GB of RAM memory and I was too lazy to actually compile a kernel with PAE enabled 
).
The driver works fine at first glimpse
rebound11@Merlin:~$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650rebound11@Merlin:~$ glxgears
8815 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1760.829 FPS
9633 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1926.120 FPS
9273 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1854.507 FPSBut when I tried to activate a(ny) dual-head configuration I had to resort to the liveCD to restore the previous working xorg.conf file (which I'll gladly attach if needed).
If anyone has any ideas on how to get my dual-head configuration working at least I'm all ears.
Thanks.
PS: Does anyone know how to get Catalyst Control Center?
