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.
