I saw somewhere in the XF86Config man pages for a "multi-headed" config
file.  Here is my problem.  I need to be able to start X on a laptop that
may or may not be docked.  When docked, it uses the external monitor, and
my video card's "extern_monitor" option.  When not docked, I need to have
the "intern_monitor" turned on.

I can define both monitor sync rates in the same X config file, but when
using the external monitor, if I do not have intern_monitor commented out,
I do not get any sync on the screen.  As soon as that only line is
commented out, all is fine.  (when undocked, it does not matter)

Of course, the Internal/External hotkey (Fn key) does not work when booted
under Linux.

How do I create a multi-config (same config file) XF86Config?  Right now,
I'm starting X with the manual option to point it to a special config
file (startx -- -f xf86config XF86Config.monitor).

TIA,
JR
