This one should work out, i945G with the DVI expansion card installed in the PCI-E slot.

Re: intel GMA 950 & Dual Monitor

you can try with a package from the community 915resolution to temporary (until reboot, but you can run this as a daemon) change modes in 8xx/9xx chip's BIOS. I tried this on my friend's Dell Inspiron 640m but run after that in another problem . i couldn't run X neither with vesa nor i810 driver, but all live linuxes that i have worked just fine with X . if you manage to start it please tell how you did it.
