[ltp] T42p, dualhead config

[Andreas Siegert]

Hi,

I'd like to run my T42p (1600x1200, T2) in dualhead mode, but everytime
I switch on the screen layout for dualscreen everything is blank and I
can not even get to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1

This is a Suse 9.2 with the latest patches, the Xorg 6.8 server and the
ATI firegl driver (fglrx_6_8_0-8.12.10-1). 
The external monitor is a 1280x124 Eizo TFT,
but it does not matter whether the external monitor is connected or not.

Here are the relvant parts of my xorg.conf:

One other thing that I would also like to acomplish is to switch of the 
backlit function when the screen saver (xlock -mode blank) comes on.
