Hi, François.
Thank you for the input. Here is my other attempt, with the correct
monitor identifiers:
hudson@musix:~$ xrandr --output LVDS-1 --auto --output VGA-1 --auto
hudson@musix:~$
hudson@musix:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 2047 x 2047
LVDS-1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
303mm x 190mm
1280x800 59.91*+
VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
As you see, the extern monitor remains considered disconnected. (It
behaves like in standby state, as it takes a little time to display the
screen when I switch to the framebuffer terminal.)

How to enable Xorg to use a VGA monitor plugged to a laptop?
I use a command like this:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto
I just tried your suggestion, but got this message:
hudson@musix:tmp$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto
warning: output LVDS1 not found; ignoring
warning: output VGA1 not found; ignoring
hudson@musix:tmp$
Your monitor names are probably a little bit different.
Typing "xrandr" with no option will allow you to list the monitors
actually seen by X. For example I have eDP1, VGA1 and HDMI1 as
possible names for my current configuration :
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x
194mm
1366x768 60.03*+ 40.01
1360x768 59.80 59.96
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
