I have not tried the LeftOf/RightOf options or the Intel driver.  On my 
dual-screen mga setup, I just set the left monitor to position 0 0 and 
the right monitor to a position just to the right of the width of the 
left monitor.

With your monitors, that would have the Laptop monitor at position 1920 
0 and the VGA monitor at position 0 0.  To use the full width of both 
monitors, the virtual screen should be 1280+1920=3200 wide.

                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't set a default mode.  With two monitors in different modes, it 
didn't seem to make sense.  May not make any difference.
