Hello,
I am trying to configure xorg.conf on a HP Pavilion N3330 to show one instance of X on its tilt-up screen and another instance of X on its external monitor. Currently, the external monitor shows the same content that the screen shows.
Here is the transcribed output of Xorg -scanpci:

I temporarily created entries for the external monitor by creating new sections for "Screen1", "Monitor1", and "Device1" in xorg.conf as shown immediately below, but startx changed the driver entries in the device section from "trident" to "vesa". This xorg.conf causes the errors shown in the log far below.
