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!

Matthew
