[ltp] Dual Head display on IBM X40 series Thinkpads

[Carlos Maldonado]

even so I've tried it myself with the cvs (you need to install 
libpam0g-dev package on debian otherwise it won't compile)

here's some documentation about it

http://www.chronox.de/x40_linux/linux_on_x40.html#dual_head_configuration_with_x_org

however I couldn't make it work with dual head because of some error 
with VBE not loading properly after a few laptop display -> crt switching

I decided to drop it when I realized it had been 4 hours since I started 
researching, btw Xorg compiling take around 70 minutes

let me know if you make it work

regards

Carlos Maldonado
