More *precise* details are probably needed before someone can help you.

As a counter example, I can plug an analogue external monitor into my
Asus PRO31J F3JC laptop, which uses a nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics
chipset, and play with a Fn key to toggle between laptop display,
external display, or both at the same time.  And that works without
making any changes to my Xorg configuration.

In this case, they both show the same display.  But if I want them to
operate independently, then I do need play around with my X
configuration.
