First, I am quite new to Arch, and Linux in general. I have tried search the Wiki, these forums and the web with no success at finding anyone with the same problem. (not to say I couldn't be missing something) In all cases (?)they where able to fix it through things like the proper nvida graphics driver (not applicable to me..)
I have a Lenovo X61 (with a "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" chipset) I have an external LCD monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster 760V tft) plugged into the VGA output, I am unable to get a dual monitor working. (or even mirroring)
xrandr -q produces:
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 0.0*
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0
The monitor plugged in is not mention, even after restarting and reconfiguring X with the various automated tools. The edits I have made manually to xorg.conf did nothing. Is there something I am missing here.
On startup, when GRUB appears, I can press Fn+F7 to switch between the laptop panel and the external monitor, but once Arch starts booting I am stuck on that monitor (which will stay at the 1024x768 resolution, even though the external monitor's resolution is 1280x1024)
I would appreciate any help & suggestions. (Or a link to someone with the same problem who fixed it?) I hope I have given enough information.

Could you fix it or does anyone else have a solution?
