No, X refuses to start if I do that.  KDE definitely wants to use the
VGA screen because it only lets me select a 1024x768 display and will
only maximize windows to that size.
When I select the KDE "Configure Desktop..." it will only show "Screen
1" for 1024x768, even though in the "Multiple Monitors" tab it shows a
second 1680x1050 display as well.

Thanks,
