Fn+F8 Key / CRT to LCD and Back?

Hi,

I messed with the Fn F8 key on my Inspiron C400 and now when I plug the PC into a docking station and the CRT doesn't work. I then go toggle the Fn F8 key to get the CRT to work. When I undock and boot up the LCD screen does not work. I then go toggle the Fn F8 key to get the LCD to work. I then plug the PC into a docking station AGAIN and the CRT doesn't work. I toggle the Fn F8 key to get the CRT to work.  

The manual doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

usually.. when using the docking station the laptop understand that you wanna use it as a desktop.. so she go to the only VGA-port mode...  when going back (without the laptop) she go to "laptop" mode... remember that when using the docking station.. you are actually using another drivers settings profile.. so most of the changes to the hardware settings are only reflected when using the docking station
