..yup.
Try: 'diff -u /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/Xorg.1.log |less '
etc, and chk them for (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not
implemented, (??) unknown messages with
e.g.: grep \(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.* |less
..you should also have old logs:
root@d45:~# ll /var/log/Xorg.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123235 May 19 14:48 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136370 May 8 11:25 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44611 May 19 14:48 /var/log/Xorg.1.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44611 May 19 11:27 /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old

..weird, it should manage VGA. Before we start barking up the wrong
trees, lets first do a quick hardware test; chk _ALL_ wires, connectors
etc for electric conductivity, clean those if need be.
I've heard nasty tales of tarry dust coming from tobacco smokers,
some other dusts may also conduct electricity if moist.
..aaand, crusty old capacitors do blow up, some even with some misguided
manners... which should yield error or warning messages
..keep a few ssh sessions running dmesg -Hw and tail -f on interesting
log files while you mess around with arandr and modprobe -v and the
other stuff I suggested. (1 hint: dmesg --help |less)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
