Log file from running X on the N610c

I have a Compaq Evo Notebook N610c hooked up to a docking station that I'd like
to use dual-head on, but I'm only able to do dual-head in a clone mode since
xrandr commands aren't working.

I've tried using xrandr to disable one of the monitors and then reenable it at
the new location with these commands:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --off
xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024

However, xrandr doesn't seem to do anything except display this error when I
run it (even with -q):

xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes

Here's what my xorg.conf file looks like:

Section "Files"

        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier "Default Layout"
        Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection

I've tried adding 'Option "Ignore" "True"' to the Built-in display monitor
section, but then X refuses to start at all.

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about this system.
