Now working: http://wdk.dyndns.org/xorg.conf.html

I can use the laptop with an external monitor, closing the lid so the
LCD blanks, but retain full control over the external monitor (bios is
set NOT to sleep when lid is closed!)
X will start in 1600x1200 on both the LCD and ext monitor port, even
with no monitor plugged in.

Secret was the merged frame-buffer mode.  I did try this at some point
without luck before, but it works now!  The duplicate device suggested
by Carl was a no-no: hard lock every time X started.

Hope this helps someone ...
