It probably depends on your laptop and monitor
if you have an ati card, try the utility atitvout. Your laptop should also have
some key combination that plays with the internal and external monitors,
probably some combination of Fn+F7 or Fn+F10 or something like that, look at
the icons on the keyboard. It may work also.
