Dell Inspiron 600m / Switching LCD/CRT

Greetings,

Is there a way of switching between the LCD and CRT on a
Dell Inspiron 
600m?

The video specific output from lcpic -v:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc
Radeon R250

I've done a clean installation of F8. I have radeontool
installed. I can 
get it to turn off the LCD, but I can't get it to deliver
output to the 
CRT port.

On bootup, I can use Fn+F8 (CRT/LCD) and see that the flip
can be done. 
However, it disappears after the splash screen disappears.

I've done some searching via google and the ubuntu pages
mention the use 
of i810switch. However, there are no i810switch rpms on
Fedora sites. 
There are some older source packages available on the DAG
repository for 
older versions of Redhat/FC*. Is the i810switch the one
which should be 
used?

Thanks in advance.
