Indeed. I wonder how to configure the external monitor on a laptop. I
think it's related to the new general Xserver options. 

hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Crtc.c:
[...]
static OptionInfoRec xf86OutputOptions[] = {
    {OPTION_PREFERRED_MODE, "PreferredMode",    OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_POSITION,       "Position",         OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_BELOW,          "Below",            OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_RIGHT_OF,       "RightOf",          OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_ABOVE,          "Above",            OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_LEFT_OF,        "LeftOf",           OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_ENABLE,         "Enable",           OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_DISABLE,        "Disable",          OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_MIN_CLOCK,      "MinClock",         OPTV_FREQ,    {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_MAX_CLOCK,      "MaxClock",         OPTV_FREQ,    {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_IGNORE,         "Ignore",           OPTV_BOOLEAN, {0}, FALSE },
    {OPTION_ROTATE,         "Rotate",           OPTV_STRING,  {0}, FALSE },
    {-1,                    NULL,               OPTV_NONE,    {0}, FALSE },
};

Could you make a small example, so one could better understand? Just
the options to use with which values and where to put them in
xorg.conf.

Best regards,
Stefan
