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.
