Hi was using 12.04 with an external montor since months, and had no problems. most of the time the laptop remained always connected to the external monitor. in the last weeks I started having problems when reconnecting to the monitor (BUGs in xorg.0.log, machine locked but accessible via ssh), both when booting with external monitor connected and when connecting the external monitor after booting.
