The 2.0rc3 deb worked for me (Feisty beta, Thinkpad X60 tablet, 1400x1050 panel with i950 adapter and a Dell 1680x1050 monitor).

I use clone mode:

Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LDP"
Option "Clone" "true"

There are just two minor blemishes.

1) I added "Virtual 1680 1050" to the Display subsection. When I start X without the external monitor, then panning works on the laptop display, but when I attach the widescreen monitor, it doesn't pan.

2) Selecting the "Change screen resolution" applet in Gnome crashes X about every other time I try it.

I hope this does make it into the final release.

I have another question. ATI has a nifty command line utility (aticonfig) to probe monitors dynamically and enable them without restarting X. Is there anything comparable for the Intel cards?
