I got the same box :

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

What do you do to switch (just plug/unplug) ?

OK.

One of my need is to : work with the laptop (1280x800), suspend, plug my
external flat panel (through the dock), resume, and work on the flat panel
(1680x1050).

How can do you achieve that ?

Maybe because you use xserver-xorg-video-intel. I use
xserver-xorg-video-i810. I will give a try to xserver-xorg-video-intel.

BTW, do you mean xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting ? I do not find
xserver-xorg-video-intel in debian sid archives :-(

Or maybe you use Ubuntu, not Debian ...
