[ltp] external monitor on t40

hi!

i was hoping someone might help me out getting a workable set-up for
using an external monitor with my t40 running RHEL 3. for the moment
this is the roundabout way i'm doing things: i got one XF86Config file
that works fine with my external HP L1925, and another one tuned to the
t40's LCD. to switch between the two i have to copy the configuration i
want to XF86Config and restart X (btw, i use gdm).

does anyone have any advice on how to do this in a more sane manner,
-i.e not restarting X every time I want to change monitor? btw, the
Fn-F7 toggling doesn't work now either, -both screens are always on.

thanks,
cheers :)
