This did it for me - in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, set

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "i810"
         Option "Clone" "yes"
         Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
         Option "DevicePresence" "yes"
EndSection

and restart the X server. Methinks the Clone option is really all that was 
needed, but am too lazy to find out. :)
