I suppose there's a way to change the display output from
Bash. Anybody know how? My googling has come up short.


Don't know about that, but here's what I do:
-- check out thoroughly any display-related BIOS settings

Nothing there, unfortunately. The BIOS on this thing has only
a few rudimentary settings.

-- connect the external display BEFORE powering up the computer

That's what I've been doing.

-- selecting a non-graphical boot mode from the CD (text-based or ncurses install) -- booting up with the laptop screen closed (and an external keyboard connected) or, alternatively, by just manually holding down the lid-closed switch/button.

I'll try these two and report back. Thanks !
