Solving my projector VGA output in Ubuntu

9.10 doesn't come out-of-the-box with an xorg.conf!
Created my own first, taken from the posts of the Ubuntu forums (search tag: no xorg.conf)
Then used this how-to to set it up somewhat; I used the custom scripts below.

1. Script to turn on VGA:

#!/bin/bash
# ~/Scripts/1024scale.sh
# change display settings to clone mode, 1024x768 pix for VGA (projector) and scales it to the resolution of 1024x600  of the internal display
xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1024x768
xrandr --fb 1024x768
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768
xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x768 --scale 1x1 --panning 0x0

2. Script to turn off VGA, and revert my laptop's 1280 x 800 resolution:

#!/bin/bash
# ~/Scripts/1024off.sh
# Sets VGA output to 1024x768 (native resolution for most projectors) and sets internal display to off
xrandr --output VGA1 --off
xrandr --fb 1280x800 --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 --auto
