 Did you give xrandr a try?  Like,
"xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS"?  It doesn't use it by default,
which I personally don't want anyway, and you haven't sent your
xorg.conf with which you expected it to be used by default.

 What I wonder, is there a way to automatically detect that the VGA/DVI
part got plugged in?  I wonder if some triggers could be implemented,
but I haven't seen anything in dmesg/syslog/messages about it.

 I can confirm that, did stumble upon this, too.
