How to extend display on ATI mobility radeon 9600?

Hi,

I have a HP nc8000 with an ATI mobility radeon 9600 card. Through a port replicator I have connected a hp1702 TFT.

I would like to create a dual monitor or extended desktop system.
The thing is, that I can't do that. I assume I need some additional driver or software. Installing hydravision didn't help apart from offering virtual desktops, which is not really what I need.

Here's my driver:

In the display properties I should see two displays, but this is not the case.
See screenshot:

In the display properties, settings, advanced, displays, I can only select whether the monitor or the panel is the primary, while other defaults to be the clone. Like this:
[img=http://img256.echo.cx/img256/3253/advanced0es.th.jpg]

I have googled all afternoon, and some forum discussions talk about a checking the extended screen checkbox - I have no such checkbox.

Which driver should I install? ATI webpage directs me to the nnotebook manufacturers site for mobility driver dowbloads, and in the nc8000 driver section on hp.com there's not many things to choose from - and with those I can't have it working.

Tell me that it's not because of the different native resolutions. (Panel 1024x768, TFT 1280x1024)

Could you please help me?
thx
Andras
