I have an R51 with an external CRT (1024 x 768) and am doing a clone with my
ATI 7500M card. Here's the relavent parts of my xorg.conf file:

# ThinkPad
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "monitor1"
    VendorName "Generic"
    ModelName "Flat Panel 1024x768"
    HorizSync 31.5-48.5
    VertRefresh 40-70
    
    # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output.
    # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync
    ModeLine "768x576"     50.00  768  832  846 1000   576  590  595  630
    
    # 768x576 @ 100 Hz, 61.6 kHz hsync
    ModeLine "768x576"     63.07  768  800  960 1024   576  578  590  616

    Identifier "device1"

    Option "MonitorLayout"	"LVDS, CRT"
    Option "MergedFB"	"true"
    Option "CRT2Position"	"Clone"
    Option "CRT2Hsync"		"30-85"  # this is my CRT Hsync
    Option "CRT2Vrefresh"	"48-120" # this is my CRT Vrefresh
    Option "MetaModes"		"1024x768"
    
    #    Option "nopanel_display"	"ON"
EndSection
