Most laptops have a key combination to activate external video.

Examine your keyboard. Look for an icon on some key that looks like a  
monitor. The icon is usually painted with the same color as some other key  
that's typically labeled "Fn". That's your hint. There may be more than one  
key, to cut over your video completely, to the external port, or to have it  
go both to the laptop and to the external video.
