Check out XF86Config - it should have lines similar to this:

Section "Device"
        Option     "accel" "True"               # [<bool>]
        Option     "crt_display" "True"         # [<bool>]
        Option     "hw_cursor" "True"           # [<bool>]
        Option     "panel_display" "True"       # [<bool>]
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "ati"
        VendorName  "ATI"
        BoardName   "Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x"
        ChipSet     "ati"
        ChipId      0x4c4d
        ChipRev     0x64
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"

This way you will have output on both CRT & TFT.
