Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have a DELL Latitude D630 notebook with a d/port docking station and a
DELL 2007wfp display which is connected to the docking station with a
DVI plug. The notebook has a resolution of 1440x900. The external
2007wfp Display has a resolution of 1680x1050.

When I start the notebook not docked to the docking station everything
is fine. GDM will show up with the native resolution of the notebook
display.

But when the notebook is docked to the docking station, GDM will show up
with a resolution both displays are capable to visualize. In my case
this is 1024x768. Since this is a 4:3 mode and the displays are 16:10
ones, GDM will show-up blurry and stretched on both displays.

GDM should only be displayed on one display at a time:
1.) show GDM on external display only when notebook is docked and lid is closed
2.) show GDM on internal notebook display when notebook is undocked or when it is docked and lid is opened
