External monitor with TCL on Asus netbook?

Hi, folks.

I'm trying to use a small 15" external CRT monitor on my Asus 1000HA netbook with CorePlus 5.1 installed. I can't get the monitor to work. It comes on but there's no signal to it. I know the monitor is okay because it works fine with WindowsXP booted. Can someone tell me how to get TCL to send VGA output to tthe external monitor port?

Thanks.

Check your BIOS or FN keys for monitor switching before you boot.

It detects the external monitor, and then you can switch to it.

Hi, Gerald.

Not sure what you mean here. If it's working in WinXP, doesn't that mean the BIOS and Fn keys are set right?

My laptop lets me use FN keys to switch the display to an external monitor.  I do that while at the grub boot prompt, then load Core.
