Here's my setup for my 600:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NeoMagic"
    VendorName  "Neomagic"
    BoardName   "NM2160"
    Option     "intern_disp"
    Option     "extern_disp"
EndSection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768-60" "1024x768-75" "1024x768i" "800x600-60" "640x48
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

i.e. no one prevents you from specifiying both. I have to switch modes back
and forth with ctrl-alt-plus/minus when attaching a projector or monitor in
most cases, though. IBM apparently tried to be smart about the video chip
wiring... :-)
