"Could you elaborate as to what you mean by "works somehow" and why it
doesn't seem suitable?"

External monitor is a 1600x1200 LCD, laptop monitor is 1024x768.
I've used "xrandr --output VGA --off" to turn off and it was OK.
Traditional behavior of switch video button is external monitor accomodates to 
laptop native monitor resolution.This is also the default configuration with 
"intel" driver in Gutsy.  But, after turning off, I haven't found a easy way to 
get it again this way with xrandr.
I've used "xrandr --output VGA --auto" which gets external monitor resolution 
1600x1200 but also change the laptop native monitor (1024x768) to a virtual 
view of a 1600x1200 screen.
Is there a (not complex) way to tell the external monitor to show a 1024x768 
resolution?
