IS there a way to get my displayless powerbook to miror to an external VGA?

Hi,

I am completing my disembodied powerbook 667 logic board. I can boot it up, but I can't get to the main screen. Is there a keyboard short-cut? Any help appreciated...
Thanks,
Steven

Closed lid Hack?

I know that the PB will run an external VGA with the lid closed...is there a way to hack this sensor on the MOBO or through software?

Thanks

How about an applescript on startup?

Is it possible to have an applescript to run the detect display in the system preferences on startup?
