Yes, xrandr appears to see my monitor. I get something like:
VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
340mm x 250mm
1920x1200 60.0
1920x1080 59.9
1600x1200 70.0 65.0 60.0
....
LVDS connected....
The monitor appears mirrored after reboot. However, when I enter the
'xrandr -right-of' my gnome session hangs completely. The mouse still
moves but none of the windows or controls respond.
I'm using the standard drivers here. Perhaps I need different drivers?

If you run 'xrandr', does it show that the VGA Monitor is
connected?
If so, try 'xrandr --output VGA --auto' for a mirror or 'xrandr --output
VGA --left-of LVDS' for a dual-screen. Substitute '--right-of' to move
the monitor to the other side.
I have a Lenovo 3000 y410 using the Intel drivers, but the commands work
the same, and currently have a dual-screen setup using this method.
