GeForce M8600 GS/HP-dv9791eo External display

[jonasj]

Hi guys,

I've connected a Samsung monitor to my Pavillion dv9791 since the internal display sucks, and in combination with a usb-keyboard and mouse, it's almost as a desktop pc.

But, how do I get ALL (like from when the power is turned on on the PC, bios-printout etc) output on the external display, it should be the primary display ...? There's nothing in the BIOS-settings that I can twist, and I've found nothing in the nVidia control-panel.

it will always be listed as the secondary display since it is a laptop. there might be a way to disable the laptops display but i am unsure as to how to do that.

As soon as Vista starts, I get the output on the monitor and it is listed as the primary display in Vista. I want the BIOS to think that it's the primary display too ....

not sure how to make the bios see it as an external.

but when you go into the bios is there anything that says external display? or anything about vga graphics or display?
