In the simplest case you just take a working config that uses the flat panel and add those options. "CrtcNumber" specifies which output to use. I think "1" ends up being the panel and "0" is the external connector on most laptops. Setting "FlatPanel" to "0" tells it to ignore that it sees a flat panel connected and to treat it like a CRT.
