You could start two instances of the X server, each running one instance of gdm. One would be running on vty7, one on vty8, and you could switch between them with Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F8.
I don't know how to tweak the gdm setup to start two of them.

The thing is I use my mobile at home and at work. At home I usually only use my laptop monitor only whereas I use a TFT screen at work. When I start X 'by hand' (without gdm on boot) I may use the Xinerama layout using the '-layout' parameter. But how can one achieve that using gdm? gdm just starts the default layout which is the non-Xinerama one (as a save bet). Does anyone have any hint how to make gdm 'detect' the laptop has a second monitor attached? Maybe by some sort of script in my $HOME dir or something? Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
