I also had problems with the keys and with i855crt too. It never worked 
satisfactorily for me.

So I chose a completely different solution. Added the next two lines to 
xorg.conf (it has worked XFree86 too):

Option          "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
Option          "Clone"         "true"

So now my device section looks like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "i810"
        VideoRam        65536
        #VideoRam       98304
        Option          "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
        Option          "Clone"         "true"
EndSection

With this your CRT output is always enabled with the same resolution as 
your LCD display.

Not a perfect solution but it is good enough for me.
