Jaunty is not dual monitor friendly

[lotech]

Tried the beta live boot on a Thinkpad X40, worked fine as long as no external monitor attached, when external monitor attached it keeps saying running in low graphic mode, and asked if I want to reconfigure the adapter, but there is nothing to reconfigure the file is empty, but without the external monitor it works like charm, worst than the previous version

Could have something to do with the video chip and driver?

Jaunty is dual monitor friendly. I'm running a dual monitor configuration since Alpha 6 on a Thinkpad T61. We don't have the exact same hardware but you should be using the intel video driver. My video hardware is Intel GM965.
