Note Add-On Devices Connecting External Devices • If you need to use both displays at once, press Fn+F5 repeatedly until the image shows on both displays. However, by default, the image is limited to the maximum internal display available for your notebook (1024 x 768 pixels or 1400 x 1050 pixels, depending on your model), so at a higher resolution you will see only part of the desktop on both displays. This doesn't happen if you use only the external monitor.
