  i'm guessing you meant 800x800, not 800x600 -- that's the difference
between the actual res (1280x800) and what "xdpyinfo" is showing.  so,
yes, it shows LVDS at the correct res (1280x800), but i don't see
where it recognizes a second display.

  oh, wait ... i just ran System->Prefs->Display and, sure enough,
there was an additional 800x600 display.  where did that come from?
i certainly didn't select that kind of config during install.
