If yes, please provide some detail. Not as far as I know. The video driver is responsible for anything more involved than what currently works. In particular, we'd need driver support to drive both outputs independantly. The DSDT just provides for cycling between LCD, CRT and LCD+CRT (cloned). The issue that these combinations can only be cycled through, not set directly, is due to the BIOS/DSDT, but not a big issue anyhow.
