SuSE
Works fine using ATI fglrx driver version 8.19.10 configured with fglrxconfig into clone mode (display shows full resolution, external CRT shows full resolution with higher refresh rate). This was tested using SuSE 9.2 with a Thinkpad T43p.
Ubuntu Dapper
On an Ubuntu Dapper (xorg 7.0.0) external vga/ monitor/ beamer works fine with the following in /etc/xorg.conf. I used the free ati driver shipped with Dapper.
