I don't have an X60 myself, so I cannot say anything definite.

People with Intel graphics sometimes have to use userspace utilities
like i810switch to enable/disable VGA out.

There's also /proc/acpi/ibm/video that talks to the BIOS.

  # echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video

should be equivalent to pressing Fn-F7, I think.
