Somebody here is trying to use an external VGA monitor with a Compaq SLT 386 S/20, running (Extended) OS/2. In theory, a keystroke (CTRL-ALT <) can be used to toggle between the internal and external screens. Bang goes the theory. Is OS/2 to blame, and is there a fix? Thanks in advance John Mullin

Try to do the switch while the system is still booting (you may or may not have to wait until you are past the hardware tests and actually booting os/2; try a few times) I guess since it works in does and not os/2...
