Change console output device?

Hi all,

I have a laptop that I sometimes connect to a larger monitor.  I would like to be able to change my console output device so that I can connect to my larger monitor on the fly and have my console output switch over-- basically I'm looking for xrandr for the console (xrandr does the job just fine in X11).

If I initially boot up with my laptop screen closed and my monitor connected, the console output goes to my monitor as desired.  But I would like to be able to switch output devices on the fly, rather than having to reboot to switch console output between my monitor and laptop screen.  Thanks for any help
