Hello,
I have a 15" monitor laying here unused, so I wish to use it a dual-head with my laptop (which uses Intel i965 video). It works on GDM (I get a gray screen on the 2nd monitor), but when I enter GNOME it disappears. Changing resolution options on the GNOME has nil effect.
The laptop uses 1440x900 while the monitor uses 1024x768. My xorg.conf is:

Any clues on how to fix such problem? Thanks!

try
xrandr --auto

take a look at the xrandr manpages.
--left-of, --right-of, --above, --below, --same-as <another output>
Use one of these options to position the output relative to the position of another output.
This allows convenient tiling of outputs within the screen. The position is always com‐
puted relative to the new position of the other output, so it is not valid to say --output
a --left-of b --output b --left-of a.
