Laptop hardware is custom, so I doubt yu can replace anything with something else.
For radeons, use the xorg driver rather than the ati ones for a laptop. You lose some, you gain some. For me I can get it to work across multiple projectors/monitor types and resolutions without rebooting (I use suspend2) so I can just go into a lecture theatre, plug the cable in and resume. No picture, then just start changing resolutions until happy (takes seconds at the most) Avoid autodetect - almost always chose unsuitable resolutions with projectors, plus needed a cold boot (even just shutting xorg didnt work - think its a bios thing) to work properly.
