Are you perhaps referring to the laptop's LCD display and the VGA out at the back as "dual display?" If so, then you are wasting your time trying to configure multi head display. Typically on a laptop, you can toggle the video HW to display on (a) LCD only, (b) Both (LCD+VGA), (c) VGA only.
I too remember quite distinctly reading an article which showed how to setup two individual displays on a laptop even with the chip driver not supporting dual heads. It used xinerama. Right now I cannot find the link. Google around I am pretty sure theres a hack for this.
