Duel monitor issues

Well the drivers are loaded and thing are better, BUT...

I have a Dell D800 with Linux Enterprise v3. The VGA out is plugged into a KVM, and the control screens are 19" or 17". When I scroll to this Linux computer in the KVM I have control but no screen so I have to hit FN+F8 on the Linux laptop then I have control and view of the laptop comptuer, all seems ok but back on the laptop the screen thinks that it is now a 19" or 17 inch screen and I need scroll around the laptop. Is there any way to set up the external output to a specific size while keeping the laptop the way it is when it is not hooked up to an external monitor and a way to boot up with the VGA out turned on so I don't need to type FN+F8 on the local machine to enable the VGA out.
