That option no longer exists.  Now if you want to statically disable
outputs, you use the Ignore or Disable options in the Monitor section
you connect to that specific output with Option "Monitor-LVDS"
"monitorsectionname" in the Device section.  However, depending on your
usage, you may be more interested in using xrandr to configure what
you're looking for at runtime.
