Adam,

I was finally able to get my external display to work at its native
resolution..

I made these changes to xorg.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option        "monitor-LVDS" "Internal"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier  "Internal"
        Option        "disable" "true"
EndSection

However, xrandr still reports the LVDS display as connected.
