This made my external monitor work.

The graphical tools to set the graphics card, monitors and resolution are still crappy. I guess this is related to the intel board because it never worked correct. The strange thing is: I know it can work. I’ve changed my xorg.conf in Gutsy and I could get it to work as it should. But it looks like the graphical configuration is still complicated in X :-(
