Not as far as I know. The video driver is responsible for anything
more involved than what currently works. In particular, we'd need
driver support to drive both outputs independantly. The DSDT just
provides for cycling between LCD, CRT and LCD+CRT (cloned). The issue
that these combinations can only be cycled through, not set directly,
is due to the BIOS/DSDT, but not a big issue anyhow.
