External Monitor in Linux (Ubuntu Edgy)

Has anyone successfully gotten their X60 to hook up to an external monitor with a resolution greater than 1024x768 in Linux?
I've tried both techniques posted below, unsuccessfully:

I've done quite a bit of research, as well as tinkering with no success sofar.
Any success stories?

Hi,
well it works on my x31 the following way:
you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf Screen section, and add the resolution you need (last subsection)
than you need to restart X to change to the external screen with its native resolution.
This works fine for me
