Mark,
I am also using the same setup, Workaround for this is to disable
"mode-line" first and then use xrandr to setup dual monitor.

In my case I use like this.

gnmk-Debian~ % xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2340 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
303mm x 190mm
   1440x900       60.0*+   59.9     50.0
   1360x768       59.8     60.0
   1152x864       60.0
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3     56.2
   640x480        59.9
VGA1 connected 900x1600+1440+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 443mm x 249mm
   1600x900       59.9*+
   1280x1024      60.0
   1280x960       60.0
   1280x800       59.8
   1152x864       75.0
   1280x720       60.0
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0
   720x400        70.1
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

and then
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --rotate right
 --right-of LVDS1

it works for me.
