I tried pressing FnF7 while machine is booting up and it changes the video mode but after it boots up it goes back to clone mode again.
I also added Option "WorkProperly" "on" to xorg.conf but still FnF7 does nothing. :(

Some X drivers have a BiosHotKeys flag, which defaults to Off!
eg, see man radeon.
Yes, this is daft - as another commentator wrote, it ought to be called
Option "WorkProperly" "on".
