For Winbook XL, [fn] (blue) F2 toggles between LCD and CRT - I know 
because I just dropped mine a few inches and that did in the LCD.  
Before all this, Knoppix 3.something live CD booted fine on it, but did 
not recognize the mouse or modem.  Since my screen is also dead, I can't 
do any BIOS stuff to help you there.  The toggle works near the 
beginning of the boot up sequence (into Windoze 98).   If you do get any 
Linux running on it, let us know.
