I have an HP laptop with VGA-Out and an ATI (Radeon Mobility 9100IP) card.... it worked fine to connect my laptop to my TV through MergedFB in feisty.....

There are a number of reasons I want to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy (Trevino's repo is half-dead, ipod-convenience for my iPhone, compiz ccsm, etc.) but when I do I lose my MergedFB obviously... and cannot figure out how to get my dual-monitors back.

Since my card is pre-9500, fglrx doesn't work for me.....

When I have my VGA cable connected (to my new Vizio with a RGB(VGA) input.... Xrandr doesn't recognize it as being connected.....

I have had no success editing my xorg.conf on my own... because I have no idea what I'm doing... but I'm hoping that's the key to getting this to work.....

Here is my current xorg.conf:
Here is what I have tried:
Here are some of the edits I've tried... to no success!!!!!

Hola,
Based on your xorg.conf and using compiz-check (http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check), I am able (now) to get compiz working.
After running config-check, I got a notice about running it without blacklisting or something like that, I chose not to (pressing "N"), the rebooting and my desktop was perfectly running, and my xorg.conf modified by the compiz-check.

Here is my xorg.conf:
