Vista - Aero Glass on Intel 945GM (GMA950)

I have a Dell Latitude D620 with Intel 945GM (and therefore, a GMA950 video
chip). I have been able to get Aero Glass to work with the laptop out of
the dock using the Lakeport WDDM drivers, but when docked, I am unable to
get ANY display (much less Aero) on the external monitor. I've had to go
back to the non-WDDM drivers which are specific for the 945GM. Has anyone
been able to get Aero Glass to work on an external display with a docked
laptop on a 945GM chipset? I suspect that the GMA950 drivers just haven't
matured enough to support multiple monitors and/or docked/undocked
situations yet. Any input?

TIA.

To clarify. This is Beta 2, 5384.4. Same deal on 5365 though.

FYI: I have the same setup. When I contacted Intel support, their response
was: The Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset does not have specific drivers
nor support for Microsoft* Windows* Vista
