Have the same problem with gutsy on a Toshiba U300 laptop. Found the
following solution at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Instal...a_ThinkPad_R61

Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that a new monitor is added for
the tv-out, marked as disabled. Specify on the device section
the name of the dummy tv-out.

add:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TVOutput"
Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection

find Section "Device" and add:

Option "monitor-TV" "TVOutput"
