Disabling Laptop LCD
I am running debian lenny on my laptop.
Somehow (I'm honestly not quite sure how!!) I have managed to get my external samsung 931BW monitor (VGA) to be primary, and display at its native resolution (1440x900). However, the internal LCD is still displaying (cloned output).
I want to run beryl on this laptop. Beryl works, however it is a tad bit slow - just enough to make it unusable for day to day useage. I'm thinking that turning off the laptop monitor will increase performance. Would this be a reasonable assumption?
AIGLX is being used for rendering (at least I hope it is!!)
The graphics is Intel 945GM/950GMA.
Beryl runs perfectly when no external monitor is present (on different dirstros admittedly).

Unfortunately, after a bit of playing, X refuses to load if the "Screen 0" reference is not in the ServerLayout section.
It says somthing about no screen found etc.
