2 external monitors + laptop screen?

[jgdovin]

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics card on my laptop. I have 2 external monitors plugged in, one through hdmi and the other through vga. The computer can see both, but I can only activate 2 of my 3 screens at one time. Either 2 externals, or 1 external and laptop screen.

I do web design and development and to me more screens is more love so is there any open source firmware, or any other way to get both external ports AND the laptop screen to work at the same time?

It's almost impossible to find a laptop that allows onboard monitor plus two external monitors at the same time.
Even getting two external monitors working is hard to find. It generally involves either a USB video adapter or a multi-monitor splitter like the Matrox Dual-Head2Go.

Many people would be interested to know exactly what model computer you have and what version of Windows.
Could you post that?
