I had the same problem, but remembered I fixed it before..
It is a detection issue in compiz. Check this link for the full discussion: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-582551.html

For the less patient, here is the fix :)
- Install Compiz Advanced Desktop Setting;
- Open it and go to "General Options", then "Display Settings";
- Uncheck "Detect Outputs";
- In "Ouputs", edit the resolution (mine was set at 800x600x0x0) to your external display's resolution (mine is now 1600x1200).
