intel driver and dual screen

[Albert Vilella]

Hi, if xrandr is working for you, you should be able to do sth like:

xrandr --output VGA --off
xrandr --output VGA --auto --same-as LVDS
xrandr --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS

I am using Ubungu Gutsy. Attached my xorg.conf. I actually have a very
similar hardware set.
