[wellylug] X config problem

Just installed Ubuntu 7.04 which I'm intending to make my new 'stable' 
platform.

However I have a problem with my X configuration.

I have a notebook with screen 1024 * 768 but I use an extender and run 
an external monitor which is 1400 * 1050.

It now comes up in the Gnome screen resolution setting that I can use 
1280*1024 or less but the 1400x1050 is specified in the xorg.conf file.

I haven't had to play with X for a while and forgotten how to fix this 
type of issue. I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at my 
xorg.conf file (pasted below) and tell me what I need to do.

Thanks, Rob.
