Touchpad

My touchpad was very slow (and unusable) under Xorg

You need to add this to your xorg.conf (or replace the old section):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
        Option          "MinSpeed"              "1.0"
        Option          "MaxSpeed"              "1.0"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.1"
EndSection

Dualhead

With my Intel graphics card (GM965/GL960) Dualhead doesn't work out of the box.

You need to add this to your xorg.conf (or replace the old section):

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800c600"
        Virtual 2720 1440
        EndSubSection
EndSection

After that you need to restart your xserver and then:

xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
