Ok, newbie again, so I figured out how to edit xorg.conf. I guess I
should have played around for a few minutes before asking ^_^;;
I think I've got my xorg set up fine but it's still not working right
This is what I've got
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI_0"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI_1"
Driver "ati"

That's giving me an x error :-k so currently I've editted it to
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI_0"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Laptop Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
That works, but the external is just a clone of the laptop screen.
