As asked on #5 I tried to use this command:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x768 
and this one
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 800x600

But when I launch these commands from a terminal, the screen goes black,
I tried to wait for about 2 miniutes, but seeing nothing happen, I typed
in CTRL+ALT+F1 and then CTRL+ALT+F7, doing this I get the resolution I
typed in the command line ( 1024x768 in the first command an 800x600 in
the second).

But if I go back to 1366x768 using the monitor settings in system
settings and try again to change to 1024x768 or 800x600 I get the same
problem, the screen goes black for about 20 seconds and comes back to
1366x768.

Title:
  configuration of external monitor on laptop does not work properly

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During test of Oneiric Beta 1 on my HP-G62 laptop testcase:
  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/GFX/ExternalPrimary I have
  this problem on configuration of external attached monitor:

  After powering on my laptop with an external monitor attached, when I
  unclick the duplicate check box and work only with the external
  monitor,  when you try to turn the laptop monitor on again it just
  remains black and only the external one works, can't get it back
  working, it works only if you check the duplicate check box again, but
  you can't switch off the external monitor and work with the laptop one
  if the external one is attached.
