I'm seeing the same behaviour on my ThinkPad T42 with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW running Edgy.

If memory serves me right, I usually get this behaviour when the external (VGA) screen is plugged in at boot. If I plug in the external screen after X has started up, I get a cloned display.

However, there is some regression wrt the cloned display; xv overlays now only get displayed on the internal LCD, and not on the external screen. This used to work on Dapper, but I remeber I sometimes had to restart X to get the overlay/external screen to work properly.

Fallback for me is to do video scaling using gl. And reboot my laptop a lot.
