The only thing necessary would be a way to lock the mouse cursor to the current display. That way, on can always boot the dual-head setup but fix the mouse cursor to the LCD only. When the need for actual Dualhead arises, one simply releases the cursor and can then move it off screen.

Does the Svideo port actually work under FreeBSD? That's probably the only thing I boot windows for: hooking up the laptop to a TV.
