External monitor on IBM T41 laptop

Really?
Try this xorg.conf

I'm running it, the only thing that bothers me is that you need to change
the DefaultServerLayout at the bottom of the file and restart x when you
want to switch to dual or single.

You prolly need to change the driver since this is a i810 built in gfx card.
