With the current releases, this isn't as easy as it should be.  With
randrproto, libXrandr, and xrandr from master, xserver from
server-1.2-branch, and xf86-video-intel from modesetting, it should be
not just easy, but automatically configured that way if you have those
outputs connected at X startup.  It would also be configurable
post-startup using xrandr.

We're working on getting a release of all of these components ready in
the next couple of weeks.
