For 1280x800, it remains working :)

1) As for my previous questions in comment 149, do other people also experience lines on their laptop screen when an external monitor is attached from boot time?

2) Would it be fairly simple to also support disabling laptop screen via laptop keyboard, which is supported in the default driver shipped by Ubuntu?

3) As for the more fine tuned control for working with two screens, I have come up with a highly detailed xorg.conf for a laptop and external screen but it doesn't work. Does this need support by the driver? Or are some of these parts not handled by xorg anymore?

Please let me know what could be improved and will be picked up by xorg. Thanks.
