Following your instructions, I managed to use display on an external
monitor.  Thanks for sharing your instructions !

However, the internal LCD shows a corrupted display.  Do you know if it
is possible to just blank it?

Also, for some reason the resolution defaults to 1024x768 (the maximum
of the internal display) instead of 1280x1024 that I specified.  I guess
that it is somewhat related..

Here is an extract from my xorg.conf:
