I like to use an external monitor when doing more serious work on my
netbook.  As far as I can see there is nothing in MCC for setting that
up, so I assume I have to use System Settings.  However, that too only
offers me the settings for the netbook's display.

I've looked at xorg.conf which also only has the settings for the
netbook screen.  Am I right in thinking that I have to get xrandr to
get this working correctly?  At the moment I can clone the screen, but
that means that only 80% of the screen is visible, a real pain.

I'm using beta 3, and package management seems to be problematic at
the moment.
