6.6.192 does something like switching, but does not really 
switch resolution for CRT2. it seems odd that it only 
shows 'Screen 0', while it should also show screen 1

Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 1024, current 2680 x 1050, maximum 
3000 x 1200
default connected 2680x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1400x1050     305.0    304.0
   2680x1050     304.0*
   3000x1200     304.0    305.0
   2800x1050     305.0
   1280x1024     304.0
gluck eyrich 715 (~):

Additionally, it does not toggle clone mode (it stays in 
clone-mode even after restarting the server)

is it already somewhere available as a .deb (for the easy 
way;))?
-- it's a pity to always need to downgrade the xorg 
packages ...

anyway thanks for your work!
