I have incorporated the following in my xorg.conf
to allow easy switching between LVDS1 and VGA1 using a vga
connection to the intel videocard:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Default Screen"
    Monitor     "Configured Monitor"
    Device      "Intel 945GM"
    #Option "DefaultDepth" "16"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # uxa->sna (gallium3d/dri/kms/mesa)
    #Option "DRI2" "1"
    #Option "DRI" "1"
    #Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
    #Option "LinearFrameBuffer" "1"  
    #Option "TripleBuffer" "0"
    #Option "Pixmap" "24"
    SubSection "Display"
     Modes "1280x800"
     Virtual 4096 4096
    EndSubSection
EndSection
