I have a similar problem than Bryce Harrington.

If I start my laptop with the second monitor plugged in, every thing is fine until i login. After I have the same as Bryce corruption on both screens.

If i start my computer without the external display plugged in, every thing is fine.
If I plug the second screen after X started nothing happens (normal). But as soon as I launch xrandr from a console both screens goes wrong again. It goes back ok when I unplug the external display and relaunch xrandr...
