I also had this problem on lucid. Applying the patches automatically failed, but I was able to manually apply the patches and I'm up and running with two monitors. I repackaged patch-3 as it worked on my system and have attached that patch. I've had to fight this across three upgrades. It sure would be nice if this was accepted.
