Not that I new of. One thing you can try is to use FN+F7 from console
first, that should work.

If it does, to get the external monitor woirking with X too, you need
to adjust your resolution to match that of your external monitor (one
choice for TFT/LCD, several for CRT). I don't know how to do this from
within KDE, I usually do it directly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

If FN+F4 on console doesn't work, your problem is not related to X.

Hope that helps,
Tobias
