I have a laptop (Thinkpad X220t) freshly reinstalled with latest openSuSE (I
did not yet have time to check under other distributions).
I installed Trinity over Gnome 3; If I boot and start Trinity (first user) I
have nothing on the external screen (which is a beamer, 1024x768). Internal
screen is at 1366*900.
If I start a second user (under Gnome) the internal screen resizes to 1024x768
and I get an image on the beamer.

lol, i have a t40 XD
I don't have two screens.
You simply booted in without configuring anything?
try control center > system administration > monitor and display > resolution
and layout
If they are erros, post them here, maybe some one else will help you.

1366x900 is a seriously uncommon resolution. I wonder if Gnome, Xorg or driver
devs even know it exists? Does xrandr -q confirm it's what you have? According
to
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-ThinkPad-X220T-4298-2YG-Convert…
that model only comes with 1366x768 screens.

and I get an image on the beamer.
Gnome is very demanding compared to other DEs. If GDM is still installed,
removing it might help. Make sure to configure trinity-tdm as your display
manager. I have lots of openSUSE installations with KDE3 or TDE, none on
laptops, but several with dual displays available. None have ever done as you
describe, and GDM is never installed.
