I wanted to use an external monitor for giving presentations with an HP dv4000 laptop running Edgy. The output was extremely wavy with i810switch, so I followed the instructions here:
The mouse froze when logging in with a cloned display, but otherwise things looked good. When I skipped the screenlock by adding the "-l" option to gdmflexiserver, everything worked great.
That doesn't sound too bad, but it took several hours of chasing down blind alleys and trying things that didn't help.
My sad story had a happy ending...
