Permanent X setup with Xrandr 1.2.99 on Fedora 11

[CrystalCowboy]

I have a mini-ITX system with a core 2 duo (laptop) CPU and an i915 chipset on which I just installed Fedora 11.

kernel: 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i686.PAE
libXrandr-1.2.99.4-3.fc11.i586
libXrandr-devel-1.2.99.4-3.fc11.i586

The graphics is a bit messed up. The chipset and motherboard support LVDS, but I do not have a display hooked up to the LVDS. I have a 1280x1024 LCD monitor hooked up to the VGA (HD15) connector.
Because the X server detects the LVDS, X windows comes up in 800x600 resolution.

I would like to set it so that the LVDS is turned off and only the VGA output is turned on, at 1280x1024 resolution. I notice there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file any more. How do I create an xorg.conf file, or equivalent, to accomplish this?

TIA

'Xorg -configure' will make you an xorg.conf. Read 'man intel' to learn about the option ("Ignore" should interest you).

Excellent, thank you.

"Ignore" is actually covered in the xorg.conf man page, not the intel man page.

I added this to my new xorg.conf file:

-------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS1"
Option "Ignore" "TRUE"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV1"
Option "Ignore" "TRUE"
EndSection
-------------

And now only the VGA connection shows up.

In addition, this somehow allows XVideo to work, which clears up my next problem.
