It could be. 
Though you should try change /etc/X11/xorg.config first. 

From your previous post:

This will not work as you want. 
You have to change above:

 Option       "Clone" "on"

That will give you 2 screens with the same content for presentation. 

If that doesn't work try ATI drivers instead of opensource radeon.
See 
  http://en.opensuse.org/ATI
and 
  http://en.opensuse.org/ATI_Radeon_Xpress
for instructions. There is no garantee that it works for eevry laptop, but you 
can try it.
