Same behaviour with your xorg.conf unfortunately.
I've heard there are some buggy intel-DDXes floating around. I don't know which one you use. A possible workaround is do add
SubSection "Display" Virtual 3200 1200 EndSubSection
to the "Screen" section. Attached is a further 'xorg.conf' with the workaround included. Please give it a try.
I added this section but it didn't make any difference.
I have now fixed it though by adding a new monitor for VGA-1 and setting "Ignore" to "true" in xorg.conf.
Thanks again for the help (wouldn't have found this if I hadn't started looking into Clone as you mentioned earlier in the thread!)
