Broken iMac screen: need to mirror to external monitor.

I have a 2008 24” iMac and the LCD display has hit the dusty trail.. first the image became scrambled then finally it went pitch black. I know its nothing system related because I can push the play-pause button on my keyboard and hear iTunes over the speakers, so…
I have an external 22” LCD that I’ve hooked up to the mini-dvi port on the backside of the iMac, originally I hoped that the desktop would automatically mirror to the external monitor but no luck..
My question is, how can I get the desktop to mirror to the external monitor if I cant even get to the settings in Mac OS X because I can’t see the screen in the first place?
Would rather fix this myself than go to the Apple store or replace the broken screen in the iMac.
