Hi,
thank you a lot for your post.
I spent quite a long time already yesterday
with that wiki text. But it didn't help much.
Where should you put that
"xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768
--left-of LVDS"
?
In "xorg.conf file" or?
the output of xrandr -q in my system:

What is your advice, what do with that?

xrandr does work on Lenny. We've got two laptops using it with no
problems. Studying http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2
was really helpful, particularly understanding the 2048x2048
concept in the Virtual screen section. With xrandr you keep your
xorg.conf file to a minimum.
Obviously your mileage may vary but if it's any help, my xrandr
command is:
$ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --output VGA-0 --mode
1024x768 --left-of LVDS.
I had to change VGA to VGA-0. You can find your own display types
with:
$ xrandr -q
That's it, although in Xfce I have to log out and then back in
again to get the extra widths showing in the desktop workspaces.
Hope it helps

Here's an extract from my xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
# DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
# Depth 24
# Modes "1024x768"
Virtual 2048 2048
EndSubSection
EndSection
Then, from the command line, run:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768
--left-of LVDS
