I'm a little depressed that external monitor support is still so poor. The last time I tried it was 2 years ago back in college, and it took me weeks of Googling, reconfiguring and reinstalling to get it to just barely work. Seems like it has barely moved since then... what a shame for something so obvious and vital to many laptop users! Reminds me of the xkcd comic. (http://xkcd.com/619 http://xkcd.com/619)
