I pretty much used the one, Osho posted here (thanks!) and applied only
some modifications to adapt it to my setup here (ext 1280px LCD).

I attached a reduced version of it.
That one drives only my external panel, the internal is switched off,
which is exactly what I want from this config file.

(However, I don't understand that completely (because the MonitorLayout
specifies LVDS as second and MergeFB is on), but I'm still new to the
xorg driver. ;-))

What exactly doesn't work?
DVI?
Or LCD and DVI simultaneously (as probably should with the setup
described above)?


BTW, mine is a T42p with a
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M10) NT (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4e54)



Some output from the setup attached:
(**) RADEON(0): MonitorLayout Option: 
        Monitor1--Type TMDS, Monitor2--Type LVDS
[...]
(II) RADEON(0): Primary:
 Monitor   -- TMDS
 Connector -- VGA
 DAC Type  -- Primary
 TMDS Type -- NONE
 DDC Type  -- VGA_DDC
(II) RADEON(0): Secondary:
 Monitor   -- NONE
[...]
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode
disabled


But, just to repeat: Currently, there is no problem for me. :)

Sorry, but you left me a few architectural abbrevations behind. ;-)
