The second problem is also solved. I did added the following under the
Device section in the Xorg.conf to make it permanent:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "monitor-VGA" "DELL LCD"
Option "monitor-LVDS" "IBM LCD"
EndSection
And I now also realize why it was not happening earlier when I did the
same changes to xorg.conf file, I mistyped "DELL LCD" as "DELL-LCD" at
one place and have also put the Virtual screen as 2048x768 instead of
2048 768
Thanks Ashish for getting this working. Now somehow if I can make the
Laptop LCD primary monitor. :-)
Regards.
