When connecting to an external monitor with a DVI to VGA adaptor which keys do you use to mirror the macbook pro to the monitor. Initially, only a generic screen comes up. On my 17" you use F7 and the monitor mirrors the laptop. What is the method??

When connecting to an external monitor with a DVI to VGA adaptor what keystrokes do you use to get the monitor to mirror the Macbook pro screen? On my 17" the F7 key turns on the mirroring to the monitor or projector, on this 15" there is no dedicated function key. How do I turn on the Monitor?

MacBook Pro, iOS 6.1.4, 15" early 2008
