When I was at nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r4, the external monitor plugged into the port replicator (dock) that my laptop is in would get the display and I could switch back and forth with Fn+F8. Now I have upgraded to nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1 and this does not happen. Fn+F8 does nothing. Everything before X shows on the external monitor. I am using modular X, but have been for some time. Here's relevant stuff from my xorg.conf:

How can I get my display on the external now? I don't want to run dual heads, I just want to be able to switch to the external when I want to.
update
As a workaround, I have started using twinview in clone mode to be able to switch to my external monitor. I have an issue with that, too, but that's another story
