On a Dell Inspiron 6400 with an ATI x1400 video card (I am using the
proprietary drivers) and Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.5.10) the VGA output was
working fine until a reboot today. I did update the system via apt-get
yesterday, so that may have affected something. This is my xorg.conf
file (minus comments at the top):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
The file is completely stock with the exception of Option
"MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" which I added to enable VGA-out when I first
got the external monitor. Until today it had successfully output
1680x1050 (which is the native resolution of both the laptop's screen
and the external monitor) but now I am getting 1680x1050 on the
laptop's screen, yet 1440x900 at the VGA-out (both at the same time).
The VGA-out screen pans with the mouse to account for the differences
in resolution (not the entire desktop is visible at any given moment).

I would have tried this command. You find it at the top of xorg.conf as
a suggestion if anything goes wrong.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Thank you. I did try that, with the result that I could no longer use
VGA out (because it erased Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" from the
xorg.conf file. Adding that option back to xorg.conf puts me back
where I was before: wrong resolution being used in VGA out.

I should note that I tried running -phigh xserver-xorg anyway, and
now I am stuck in 1280x768 on the VGA output. However, this time
instead of focus following the mouse, I only see the top left 1280x768
of the screen.

Try adding this to your Section "Screen" after the last entry and before the EndSection
VGA out: it worked, not it does not
