I'd also like to know how to do it with Intel chipset in a ThinkPad
R31.  I can switch modes with Fn+F7 before Linux loads, but not after.

Here's my Device section.

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "i830"
  BusID        "0:2:0"
  Driver       "i810"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "NoDDC"
  VendorName   "Intel"
EndSection
