Yes.  Want to describe your problem a little beter?

On the Toshiba I'm using I have a default mode (800x600) suited to the 
LCD.  If I want to use an external screen I hotkey to the external 
screen and use the XF86 alt-ctrl-plus sequence to swap to a VESA 
1024x768 mode.  There's nothing terribly magic about any of this, so we 
should be able to get you going pronto.
