You can either add the xrandr commands to your desktop start session
startup script or setup the config in your xorg.conf.  See this page
for more info on setup:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

Did enabling load detection as Brice suggested help (xrandr --output
VGA-0 --set load_detection 1)?  You can also enable it in your
xorg.log:
Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "TRUE"
