Aopen 965-DR

[Robert Lowery]

The following snippet should do the trick for turning off LVDS. 
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html should help you with the
rest.

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "intel"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option          "monitor-LVDS"   "LVDS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "LVDS"
        Option          "Ignore" "True"
EndSection

> Yes, it works.  This is what I did.
