Hi Sebastien,
With the normal panel I can switch resolutions (only 4 choices - not all available resolutions are shown here). I can't rotate the screen or use an external monitor. Also, the screen shows up as "unknown".
With the proprietary panel I can switch between about 20 resolution choices, and use external monitors. I still can't rotate the screen. This panel correctly identifies connected monitors by name/make/model (DDC information I think).
Of note, if I add an external display using the proprietary panel, the normal panel shows a "giant" desktop, i.e. if I have two 1024x768 screens configured on the proprietary panel, the normal panel will show one giant "unknown" screen of resolution 2048x768.
Thanks!
