	I'm not familiar with the Acer but the Compaq Armadas that
required the projector to be connected first would then respond to
the CRT switch.  Then I could switch between none, VGA, LCD, and both.
Seems like there were also some BIOS settings where you could define
how it came up.  But, again, I don't know anything about the Acer
so it's just guesswork on my part at this point.
