Thanks for your help, I am almost there. With this xorg.conf my vga
monitor is at the proper res and my desktop is on it. The laptop has a
high res that goes off the screen. Think it has the same res as the vga
monitor.

I would like to get the LDVS at 1280x800 with my desktop on it. Then the
vga at 1920x1200 just for an extention of the desktop so I can drag
windows to view them.
