It looks like those options are specific to each driver, and there does not seem
to be any standardizations among them.
Other possible ones are: DDCmode and DDC
You might also be able to use:
Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]"
where types are:
NONE -- Not connected
CRT -- Analog CRT monitor
TMDS -- Desktop flat panel
LVDS -- Laptop flat panel
And select NONE for the secondary to disable it.
The EDID stuff always annoys me, my old 20" monitor does not appear to return
proper info for its top resolution even though the original docs list it as
supported at the given resolution and refresh rate.
