After reading this[1] I tested connecting an external monitor to my laptop.

Setup:
- Laptop with 1280x800 screen and Intel graphics
- External screen runs 1280x1024 natively

After connecting the screen I opened the Screen Resolution capplet. "Detect
Displays" correctly showed a 19" screen and I was able to get some picture on
it. However:

- I was not able to set the native resolution of 1280x1024 on the external
screen, the highest it would let me set was 1280x960

- I set the external resolution to 1024x768. I checked this on the screens OSD,
it was in fact set to 1024x768 but it was not showing the whole screen. Even
setting the internel resolution to the same did not fix things.

- Is only clone mode supported? What about using both screens independantly?
