    Hello.

    I use an external monitor on my Compal HEL-80. There are three "display modes" the Fn-F3 function uses:
    1. Laptop display
    2. Laptop display + external monitor (laptop being the primary display)
    3. External display.

    So when I plugin my monitor I always have to press Fn-F3 twice. Is there some way I can set it to skip the second "display mode" so that when I press Fn-F3 it just switches between the displays instead of enabling both displays first.
