Bug#620426: External display no longer recognised on X startup

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 260.19.44-1
Severity: important
I use an HP Elitebook 8440p laptop with the HP docking station. An HP w2207h
LCD display is attached to the DVI output of the docking station.
I use a minimal xorg.conf as per the package README.Debian file.
When the laptop is booted in the docked state, the GRUB and Linux boot
messages appear on the external LCD but X (when it starts) is displayed on the
laptop's own screen. Until very recently it used to be the case that X also
used the external LCD by default. It is possible to redirect the X display
manually from the laptop screen to the external LCD once a session is running,
using the Nvidia control panel, but this is a major inconvenience.
When the laptop is not docked and not connected to the external display,
everything works fine.
