Is that not a hardware thing? Most laptops have an additional meta-key called "Fn", on the ones I've seen. Isn't it something like Fn+F8 (Dell 1420) to cycle through video output options. Maybe the F8 (eg) key even has an icon or secondary label? Have you read the fine manual for your laptop? :-) What laptop model is it?
