Please read a duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438000

The issue was best summarized by dhenry:

"The problem is that "xrandr" and "gnome-display-properties" will
systematically setup the external monitor next to the LVDS, without
checking if it's possible. Those tools should not do this if hardware
does not allow it. The problem is that those tools are not aware that
compiz is running (which reduces the hardware limit to 2048x2048), and
so try to create the too large frame buffer (which is legal without
compiz)."
