This option controls whether the LCD BIOS is used on laptops. This

LCD and CRT screens, you may
wish to set this option to on, so that the graphics modes will be
limited to those that can be properly
displayed on the LCD panel. Note that many laptop chipset drivers
have been updated to have more
intelligent switching code, and will ignore this option.
I ordinarily use the LCD screen but occasionally need to use both when doing a presentation. Last week I booted the machine to windows (I needed to show a WMV file) and left it on both screens; however, today it had reverted to LCD only. I had hoped that it would remember....
What is the BIOS setting?
