External VGA is not the issue, with LCD displays usually the
limitator is the panel, not the VGA interface.

It seems you really need to know about you video card... X really
really wants to know about it.
You can read your notebook's manual, or search places like the
HOW-TOs or the notebook links in http://www.linux.org./ in order to discover
something about your video; or even go to debian-laptop and ask about it.
