This seems to be fixed in current Gutsy. The problem with Clone mode is
still there but this could be fixed through adding something like that
to /etc/gdm/Init/Default:

#disable lfp if external monitor is connected
if xrandr | grep -q "VGA connected"
then
        xrandr --output LVDS --off
fi

Compiz works but it is very slow on 1680x1050 screen. Maybe it is fault
of the weak i915 chip.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
