I'm still trying to figure out why my laptop won't output X to my CRT.
LCD screen is just fine, the CRT shows non-X boot/system stuff (so the
connection is good). Went through some of the KDE GUI display settings,
but one says I don't have Xfree 4.3 "the latest", so I can't resize.
Unrelated? The KDE "Display" (system-config-display) UI lets you
configure for dual head, but it just won't come through on the CRT.
My CRT is actually a NEC MultiSync 97F, but it wasn't offered. I also
switched Xinerama to "off" and Clone to "on" and it still didn't work.
Here's my "xorg.conf" file:

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name
of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
