I've attached it.  The only change I made manually was adding the
    Virtual         3040 1200
line.

To switch to dual monitors, I do:
xrandr --output  LVDS  --auto  --output VGA --auto --right-of LVDS

To switch to laptop-only, I do:
xrandr --output  LVDS  --auto

[I'm back to using FC6, until the wireless situation stabilizes.
And, alas, neither suspend nor hibernate work - but they didn't
in FC6 either.]
