    On my Toshiba laptop (S3 Graphics SuperSavage chip), I
    don't think you have to worry about timing (as to what
    gets turned on first anymore). But I haven't tested
    that empirically.

    1) Plug the external display into the appropriate port
    (e.g. TV to the S-Video, or external monitor to the back
    VGA plug). Turn the external display on.

    2) Go to your desktop, right-click and go into Display
    Properties. Switch to the "Settings" tab, click on
    "Advanced" button.

    3) On the S3Display tab, you can then pick which devices
    you want to use in combination (you can pick up to two).

    Most other modern graphics drivers should have a similar
    control panel.
