I was having a problem with my laptop talking to an external VGA device. I think I found the fix.
The problem is that when the laptop is running, hooking it up to a projector (or LCD monitor) via the VGA port would NOT show the image on the VGA device. My fn-F5 would do nothing, and telling KDE that I had two monitors was intermittent at best. (only ever seen that work once). The fix (which seems sooooo blindingly obvious to me NOW) is to hook up the VGA device and then restart the X server, WITHOUT modifying my configurations. A quick test with an LCD monitor both showed the symptoms AND that this fixed the problem. Now I just need to get access to a projector again and see if it works there too....
