I've tested my laptop with Intreped Alpha 4 and have gotten much farther.

With the CD's default setup (using the radeon driver, I believe), xrandr detects my Dell external monitor. Further, using the Screen Resolution app I can activate the external monitor and mirror the two screens.

I'm not the original reporter, but the issue I added in comment 5 seems to be addressed.

I did encounter a new problem. I can't use the external screen in non-mirrored mode. When I try to deselect the Mirror Screens checkbox, nothing actually happens. If I close and then re-open the Screen Resolution app, it shows the screens as still mirrored. Perhaps I should log this as a new bug?

Thanks.
