Well it probably has a normal VGA connector, well you could buildt either 
a little external box switching the signals or an internal one. A simple 
relay connected to the parallel port over a transistor should be fine. 
(you'll also need a resistor and a diode) Relays should work best, but 
they are a bit expensive.
