Public bug reported:

Testing Oneiric Alpha 3 on an inspiron 1122 with an ATI chipset.  using
the OSS driver included in Ubuntu works until you try using an external
monitor.  With either external VGA or HDMI out, the external monitor
displays just a bunch of corruption, nothing discernible at all, and
worse, the primary display (onboard panel) gets a large Bar of
Corruption across the top of the desktop just below the panel.

I also tried using the proprietary driver, but that made things even
worse.  With the proprietary driver, the entire system was unusable.
I'm opening a separate bug on that issue.

For this bug, external video is completely unusable.
