Yeah that worked

Here are the changes I did to my xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DELL LCD"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "IBM LCD"
        Option          "LeftOf"        "DELL LCD"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        #Monitor                "Configured Monitor"
        Monitor         "IBM LCD"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection      "Display"
                Depth   24
                Virtual 2048 768
        EndSubSection
EndSection


After this I reload the X by pressing <Ctrl<Alt><BkSpc>. No change in
the output. Next I typed

xrandr --output LVDS --left-of VGA

This shifted the primary screen to my external VGA (ofcourse what I
wanted was my Laptop LCD to be the primary one, but doesn't matter).
Now the only issue is every time after I login, I have to execute this
xrandr command to get the desired setting. I thought the Xorg.conf
should take care of it.

Thanks a ton and let me know your thoughts on making my laptop LCD as
primary and also on how to make sure all this happens automatically.

Regards.
