The only problem I have now is that when I select full screen on
mplayer
looks like the resolution is bigger than the screen res, and I have to
scroll the screen until I center it on the screen.

Right, I forgot that. I found no solution to this problem. The docs seem
to say that one can set different solutions for the external and
internal display, but it didn't work for me. I worked around it by
creating a new user and set up the desired resolution from the System >
Preferences menu. Then I put the user in the same groups as the main
user (System > Administration). When I need the external resolution I
make a second login from gdm using this user.

The free ati driver behaves better in this regard for me too
