Hi.
The monitor of my laptop is broken, thus the screen frequently becomes
white. Then, it is needed to turning off the energy and restart the
laptop (not always with success).
Therefore, I plugged a VGA monitor. However, the VGA monitor does not
work when X is active. (It works very fine with framebuffer, though.)
How to enable Xorg to use a VGA monitor plugged to a laptop?
Thanks.

Which desktop manager are you using? Usually they have graphical tools
to detect the monitors and switch between them, use them both with the
same output or use them as an extra-large single display. It's pretty
rare these days to need to fiddle with config files for this.
