Cloning would be fine - I really just want to be able to use a projector 
for presentations.  But using
xrandr --ouput VGA-0 --same-as LDVS
doesn't work any better than the --left-of commands.

Good idea, but the monitor is old and has only one VGA input.

Thanks.  I'll keep futzing with it.  Do you know if Thomas ever got his 
working?  We seem to have nearly the same machine, so I was hoping the 
same trick would work with both.
