I had a look at the source and this is what I found (radeon_driver.c):

"    * MonitorLayout option ...
     * This option can also be used to disable one connected display.
     * For example, if you have a laptop connected to an external CRT
     * and you want to disable the internal LCD panel, you can specify
     * Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE, CRT"
"

This seems like what I had in mind earlier (Monitorlayout "NONE,CRT").
But you saw that that didn't really work out. :)
