Maybe need to press FN and an F key (F4 on mine) to switch to external VGA.

Shouldn't make no difference what your operating system is. You tried pressing Fn & F4/F7?

Well did you upgrade from vista or xp before (I'm guessing you did). Mine used to work on vista, wont work with windows 7. Tried reinstalling all drivers, tried all sorts of resolution combos etc. couldnt figure it out.
