I haven't noticed this problem.  Here's the command i use to activate an
external display:

    xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS1

It's nothing fancy, so maybe won't help, but just to throw it out there :)

I also have this problem, and am keen for a solution.

And i've never tried this :)
