What version of xrandr are you using?  xrandr -q doesn't print anything
like "VGA connected" on my system when the external LCD is plugged in.
It also doesn't seem to recognize the "--output" switch at all.

If I try "xrandr --size 1280x1024", it complains that that resolution is
not available.

radeon driver limitation?

Thanks for responding!
