To all who upgraded to Natty and experiencing a blank screen with an external display: Go to one of the Console sessions (e.g. ctrl+alt+f1), then rename the ~/.config/monitors.xml file. This resets the Gnome's Monitor settings and should give you a working Unity / Gnome Deskop on both displays. You can then try to configure you Monitor settings again.
However, the thing I'm experiencing here is, that when I try to disable the notebook display to work on the external display (via VGA) only, the notebook display goes off and the external display goes blank. And that's it. I have to restart X to get back to GDM. Running on an Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG, using Intel graphics only (ATI disabled via switcheroo).
