    Hi, Um.... I got the mini-DVI to VGA, but after I connect it, I dunno how to toggle the projector view. There must be a short-cut key for it.

    In PC, it's Fn + F7 as far as I remember, but what about for Mac??

    Thanks

    Try Function F7, Ctrl F7, Option F7, just F7...I don't know exactly :p. But its they function key with a picture of two rectangles.

    Another way is to go to System Preferences > Displays and press Detect Displays.

    What do you mean projector view?

    Are you talking about the clone view? Where both the external monitor and primary (your laptop) display show the same thing? Thats fn-f7 of f7 depending if you have your fn key to be active for the applications or not.
