Today i found a solution to use both my notebooks display [1440x800] (Dell Vostro 1510 with NVidia 8400M GS) and my flatpanel tft [1280x1024] under Ubuntu 8.04.

This is what my xorg.conf looks like (only the important parts!)

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Default Screen”
Device “nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8400M GS]”
Monitor “Generic Monitor”
DefaultDepth 24
Option “TwinView”
Option “MetaModes” “1440×900 1280×1024″
Option “TwinViewOrientation” “LeftOf”
SubSection “Display”
Modes “1440×1440″
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section “Screen”

# Removed Option “metamodes” “CRT: nvidia-auto-select +1440+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0″
Identifier “Screen0″
Device “Videocard0″
Monitor “Monitor0″
DefaultDepth 24
Option “TwinView” “1″
Option “TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder” “DFP-0″
Option “metamodes” “CRT: 1280×1024 +1440+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0″
EndSection

This config was partially done using: nvidia-settings (apt-get install nvidia-settings)
