Excellent.  I checked out CVS HEAD and applied 1760, and now I have dual
head working.  I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for that.

I am getting a lot of artifacts on the external display.  They look like
vsync problems, but the syncs I'm setting in xorg.conf are exactly what
ViewSonic says the monitor accepts.  xvidtune only wants to manipulate
the lcd, so I don't know what I can do to fix that.  But I'm assuming
the artifacts are due to something I'm doing wrong rather than a driver
bug.

Now my wish list is down to runtime addition/removal of the external
display. :)  Thanks to both you and Ben for your work on this!
