I apologise; it turned out to be a silly mistake!

I use scripts to automate xrandr switching normally, and on this laptop the
outputs are numbered, whereas on my other laptops this is not the case.

xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --same-as LVDS1

works perfectly using intel. I have not tried nvidia yet, though I
definitely appreciate the xorg configuration for twinview. Thank you.
