I am using an R50e as well, and I have the same problem with the wobbly clone mode. I also have a problem with external-only mode, though, which is: Closing the lid cuts the VGA signal to the external monitor. This only happens once I'm logged into KDE/XFCE/Gnome - not if I close the lid while I'm still at the kdm login screen, or before that (during booting).
Can anyone suggest any ideas? Clues: * Nothing unusual in xorg's logs * Closing the lid when in clone mode kills both displays. When I open the lid again, I'm in "Internal only" mode (ie external monitor doesn't come up until I switch to it with Fn-F7 again) Here's what I tried so far (with no effect): * deleting /dev/input/event5, which is mapped to the lidswitch * setting the KDE power manager to "Do Nothing" "When laptop lid closed" (duh) Help? I'd love to get this to work!
