Laptop with external monitor. SaX2 does not permit 
settings above 1024x768, and always uses 60Hz, 
even though I have inserted Modelines for 1280x1024 
at 80Hz.

Is it possible that SaX2 (and X) could be ignoring 
these Modelines because they are not suitable for 
the laptop's internal LCD/TFT screen?  
How can I make SaX2 and X pick up the settings 
for higher resolutions and (pleasepleasepleaseplease) 
a refresh rate higher than 60Hz?

In XF86Config, in Section Monitor, there's a line:
  UseModes     "Modes[0]"

Below that, in Section "Modes", there's a line:
  Identifier   "Modes[0]"
which is immediately above the Modelines.

In Section "Screen", are these lines:
  Device       "Device[0]"
  Identifier   "Screen[0]"
  Monitor      "Monitor[0]"

I'm wondering if I should duplicate all these 
entries with [1] instead of [0]  ?

How do I tell SaX2 and/or X that I need to 
configure settings for the external monitor 
as well as for the onboard LCD??
