Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

My laptop screen is broken, so I always use an external monitor (Samsung
P2470HN 24'') since 10.10.

After update to Natty (reinstalling Ubuntu), the resolution is always
1280x800. On monitor app, there isn't any resolution bigger than this
one.

I try changing video output through Fn+F5, and I even can get a better
resolution, but it's not usable since I only got the upper Unity panel,
but no app window. The background is black, applications menu don't
appear and so on.

I tried turning laptop on already connected to the monitor and also
disconnected, but I fall into the same issue.
