I believe I am also seeing this issue, I am only able to use an external monitor when the VGA adapter is plugged in at boot time.
I am running ubuntu jaunty
Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.5.99.902, module version = 2.6.1
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0
My laptop is a Toshiba dynabook SS RX1/T7E, which is equivalent to the Portege R500 I believe.
I am able to perform some testing with an external monitor later this week if you are able to tell me what versions of code I should be running and what logs you wish to see.
