[SOLVED]FGLRX: Change monitor?

Hi all,

I've got a macbook pro with an ATI X1600 graphics card and would like to disable the internal macbook display and use only my external TFT display, connected by DVI. Has anybody an idea if aticonfig can do that? Sorry for this question, but I've already fiddled around with aticonfig for more than a hour and never got a solution (except crashing my whole macbook due to these damn ATI drivers...)

Oh well, lastly I solved it on my own. Don't ask me how I did it, I just played around with "aticonfig --enable-monitors=lvds" and suddenly only my external monitor came back...
