Cancel the second part. 'lspci' is *not* supposed to give you two video 
devices. I just tried this on my laptop. On my laptop I have an external 
monitor working (as a mirror). I ran lspci and it only gave me one VGA 
device.

So this means that the 'lspci' part is already good. The next step is to 
get the CRT working. I don't know how to do that, but Matt's suggestion 
(i810rotate) seems as good as any.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm learning this as I go.

Cheers,
Daniel.
