(Get the code!)
I guess I am affected by this bug too. I have a Dell D820 with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I use a docking station to which 2 identical monitors HP LA1951g are hooked, one DVI, one VGA. The monitors "native resolution" is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz.
With Maverick I had to create a xorg.conf file to get both to work at native resolution in "extended desktop" setup (so virtual screen of 2560 x 1024) - but at least it worked fine (LVDS was shut off). The fact that compiz was off didn't bother me at all.
With Natty ... oh boy ! Not a chance (all effect were off). Natty seems to ignore xorg.conf file completely. Moreover, it's not even offering/detecting the native 1280 x 1024 resolution on the VGA display (?!?!?) any more. The max resolution available on it with Natty is 1024 x 768 ...
I am also hit by bug #745112.
The Intel chipset video support is so badly broken on Natty that I had to go back to Maverick.
