I'm having trouble finding the right settings for having a decent multi monitor support when i'm connecting extra displays or projector to my laptop with an ATI card.

The option Monitor in the list under the gear in the top right corner seems to be really buggy, simply doesn't work, if i had to use the ATI AMDCCCLE control panel i have to reboot at least 2 times and i got to be lucky to avoid errors and problems with Hz and resolution, also this last approach doesn't work after all because it leaves my extra monitor entirely blank and i can't drag windows in it, it's useless, i have nothing more than a monitor powered on with a white background.

What is the status of this kind of multi-monitor support? How i can simply plug my display right into the port and expect it to works.

I use both VGA/D-sub and HDMI.
