I would make 2 XF86Config files (eg. one called XF86Config-int and one called XF86Config-ext) and create to scripts (eg. startx-internal and startx-monitor), in those scripts, a file /etc/X11/XF86Config is removed, a symlink is made to the needed config file, with the name /etc/X11/XF86Config, after that startx 'll be executed.
Example for startx-monitor: #!/bin/sh rm -f /etc/X11/XF86Config # Remove old symlink ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config-ext /etc/X11/XF86Config # Create correct symlink /usr/bin/X11/startx # startx You can create another script similar like this for the internal monitor.
