I have the same chipset in my athlon 64 notebook (Compaq) and you turn
the external monitor port on and off with a function key on the
keyboard. I've never even bothered with doing it with the OS since it's
just easier to hit the key. On my system it's function-F4 to toggle it
on and off. You might have a similar key bound to that function as well.
