If you will provide the following information, I may be able to help:

1. The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
2. The make and model of your laptop
3. The make and model of your external monitor
4. The type of monitor (CRT, LCD, etc.)
5. What release of Debian you are running (Lenny, Squeeze, etc.)
6. The contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if any

I can't guarantee anything, but without that information, I really can't
help you much.
