I now have:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Screen1"
	Device		"Device1"
	Monitor		"Monitor1"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1600x1200" "1680x1050"
		ViewPort	0 0
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Screen0"
	Device		"Device0"
	Monitor		"Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1680x1050"
		ViewPort	0 0
	EndSubSection
EndSection

with Screen1 being the CRT, Screen0 being the Laptop-Panel. Now I get a
3320x1200 Xinerama desktop, with a scrolling CRT and a fixed
Laptop-Panel. Only problem is: There are 150x1680 pixel missing on that
Laptop-Panel, because the lower end is not accessible. The only way to
access these is to define a virtual resolution for the laptop panel
and have it scroll around. I don't want that because it slows me down.
