Did some testing with xrandr - this stuff works!

With a beamer attached, I can control on/off and resolution using:
cbourbou@cbourbou-ch:~$ xrandr --output VGA --off
cbourbou@cbourbou-ch:~$ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768
And it doesn't even need root level....The notebook's LCD can even run on a different resolution, but it's better to set them both to 1024x768....

+ Tested it with my external monitor Dell 1905FP connected to the DVI output, also there setting on/off resolution works (screen name="TMDS-1")
+ And finally, also the notebook's LCD (screen name="LVDS") is controllable likewise.

Pretty handy tool! I plan to set up corresponding shells, so I can switch easily....
