How do I display on an external monitor?

Hi,

Any ideas? I hook up the monitor cable but I can't get it to put out a signal. There's an fn key but no monitor button like on other laptops, anyway IIRC you activated the other monitor through os/x. Is this right and if so is there an alternative way to get it working?

I also want to use an external Display on my 12" Powerbook.
When it is connected on bootup, the Desktop (X-Windows) is on the external device and the internal TFT is deactivated.
But, when I change to the console (tty1-6), it is shown on the internal monitor!
It is wired...
How can I use both at the same time? Like dual-screen in OS X?
12" PowerBook - 1.5 GHz - 1.2 GB RAM - 80 GB HDD - SuperDrive
YDL 5.0.1
OS X 10.4.9
iPod Video 5G - 80 GB
