Just a guess:

Try configuring your external display as primary. (select your SVGA
Monitor to be driven by the Device that has the Screen 0 entry - easiest
should be just to switch the numbers for the screen entries)

Someone else was having similar problems. The X output suggests to me
that X automatically associates RADEON(0) with the external screen and
then gets the first problem because the Monitor section you associated
with RADEON(0) doesn't match the specs of the Monitor connected there.

Second problem occurs when X reads your config for RADEON(1) which again
associates the external port with it. But that's already in use.

So what you might need to do is to give it a correct Monitor definition
for the external display and associate that with the Device that has the
Screen 0 entry and then associate the Monitor definition for the
internal display with the Device section that holds the Screen 1 entry.

This is really just a guess, I have a T23, and so can't test anything of
that, but this is the most logical explanation that comes to my mind,
even though its the opposite from what it should be like (internal
should of course be primary)
