That's the price you pay for using a notebook without a DVI output,
combined with VGA output with lousy signal quality.  I tested the VGA
out of my X61 once, and immediately decided to buy a cardbus graphics
card with DVI output.  Unfortunally, this was just the beginning of an
endless driver hell caused by Xorg dualhead woes.  If you really need
high quality and usable dual head in your notebook, I'd recommend one
with a digital graphics output.
