Using an external Monitor works in general. However, in order to use mirror- or big desktop-mode, you have to adjust your "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that it looks something like this:
{{{
Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Modes "1280x800"
  Virtual 2048 2048
 EndSubSection
EndSection
}}}
However, the desktop size (which includes the internal monitor and the external monitor) is limited to 2048x2048 (which seems to be the maximum value that is supported by the driver).

Notes

Basically everything worked out of the box except for the sound which had to be configured independently (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588089). Manual configuration of the sound hardware is no longer necessary in Hardy Heron.

Compiz also works quite smoothly.

The V5505 has troubles with the load/unload cycles of the hard drive. See the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695.

(and now, some MS bashing: Should you be thinking of escaping this issue by changing to Windows, I feel obliged to inform you that - at least with my current bios version/ device drivers - Vista suffers from very much the same problem, except for the fact that there is no solution that I'm aware of, and there is also no information regarding this fault on the FujitsuSiemens driver download page.)

Using an external Monitor works in general. However, in order to use mirror- or big desktop-mode, you have to adjust your "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that it looks something like this: 

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes           "1280x800"
                Virtual         2048 2048
        EndSubSection
EndSection

However, the desktop size (which includes the internal monitor and the external monitor) is limited to 2048x2048 (which seems to be the maximum value that is supported by the driver).
