The notebook does 1600x900 and the external monitor does 1680x1050. So far I had no luck. Once, when I started an app, the app itself was seen on the notebook and the desktop on the external screen, or vice versa..... I just want an *exact clone*. I want to see my desktop at 1600x900 on the notebook and when I plug in the external monitor i want to see my desktop at 1680x1050.
Not sure what you want - a reconfiguration of screen size or a scaling of 1600x900 to 1680x1050. The latter will definitely end up in horrible quality. Nevertheless - I don't even have a xorg.conf file, modern systems often don't need it. For those kind of things like switching/cloning to external monitors I use disper (got it from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_11.2) , an extremely handy tool that (at least for me) just 'does the right thing'.
