Unless you have a laptop with manufacturer's or 3rd party utility that automatically goes into a different mode for AC power or DVD's, you likely have to do it manually. If you have an ';always on'; or ';presentation'; mode set up to not go into any power saving modes that can make it easier to switch. Otherwise you need to move your mouse occasionally.
