I once tried this that Guido suggested:

"Plug in the adapter cable on boot (or when resuming from disk), no need
to have the screen connected yet. Later after you attached the external
display use:
        Option          "CrtcNumber"            "0"     
        Option          "FlatPanel"             "0"
in your X configs device section. Works fine on NV17 and NV32 with X.org
6.8.0 but should also work with recent XFree86. You then have the
console's on the pbooks LCD and X on the external screen. Not perfect,
but...

Hope it helps.
