Just a note, though my setup isn't at all honed: I have an x40 with a
dock and an external monitor. I have the intel chipset as well.

I have attached my xorg.conf. I use xrandr -s (whatever number
corresponds to the resolution I want) to change resolutions. I have been
satisfied by my setup enough that I have not bothered to fine-tune it
anymore. 

I boot in the docking station with the external monitor plugged in. I
press Fn-F7 to switch to the external monitor as soon as I can.
Sometimes I have to press it a couple times -- I think that it cycles
monitor1->both monitors->monitor2. Anyways -- so long as it boots up
with the external monitor by default everything works well. If it boots
up with the internal LCD as the default I frequently have problems.
Getting it to boot on the external screen isn't hard, though, so those
problems don't really affect me anymore.

Hope it helps.

-David
