KDE 3.5.2 X.org on Debian Etch Laptop

[Prepaid <prepaid@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I'm running KDE 3.5.2 with kdm on a Dell Inspiron m170
laptop running Debian etch.  I got things up and running well, and seem
to like the way things are going, however there is one small thing
that's pestering me.

On my laptop I have the LCD screen on the laptop, and I have
an external flat panel monitor connected to the laptop. Both displays
are capable of the same display rate. 

What I want to do is be
able to control through the function+f8 key (the key designated by dell
to switch between internal and external display) if to display on the
external display or the internal display.

I had it working fine, where if KDM was started, and only the
external screen was selected, then I logged in, display would only
remain on the external screen, and vice versa for the internal screen.

Then
I made some change to the desktop theme, and now whenever KDE starts,
it makes the display come on the laptop LCD, and would allow video to
remain on the external LCD if it was displayed there. And I'm at a loss
of ways to try and figure out how to fix this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried google and searching mailing lists and haven't been able to come up with anything..


Thanks!
