I don't get it working. I tried it with gnome-shell and unity - no luck.

Only one external display is getting a signal. Both together doesn't work.
There is error message, that none of the modeline are working.

Maybe it is to much for intel gfx card? two external displays with 1680x1050 and 
the internal with 1600x900?

do you mean this bug report?
