I have similar observations on a notebook with an additional monitor attached on Ubuntu 8.10, ATI graphics card with different drivers.

Laptop Screen size is 1330x768, the other monitor is a CRT at 1024x768.

Resolutions on both screens change several times from boot to Gnome startup. Also linux seems to switch randomly between using the screens as primary output - the laptop and crt screen flicker on and off several times. Also the brightness of the laptop monitor is way to dark on the gdm login screen.
To add insult to injury I can't get the CRT to work with more than 60HZ.

I observe this problem as well: "Dualheadsetup - invalid notification position" -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370380
