First, you might give the drm-intel-fixes branch a try; there are a
bunch of multi-monitor fixes there which could be relevant.

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/keithp/linux-2.6 drm-intel-fixes

Second, you'll want to capture kernel mode setting debugging by adding
'drm.debug=4' to the kernel command line.

Third, please file a bug report (http://bugs.freedesktop.org) and
include the X log file and the kernel log. A photo of the monitor with
an incorrect image will also help.
