i have a T42p and an external display connected via DVI on the 
Thinkpad's docking station. When X starts, both displays show the same 
content (mirrored display). So i first have to switch off one of them 
and then switch on again for real dual head display:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --off

xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x1200 --left-of LVDS

I also have to add "Virtual 3200 1200" in SubSection "Display" of 
Section "Screen" in xorg.conf to get an 1600x1200+1600x1200 resolution. 
Video card driver is "radeon"

Best regards,
  Kai.
