[Bug 531164] Re: resolution drops to VGA when external monitor is connected while X starts

 

** Description changed:

  ASUS 1001p netbook with 1024x600 internal resolution.  When I connect an
  external monitor (resolution 1680x1050) while X starts the resolution
  drops to VGA.  In that case (IIRC), the display applet or grandr will
  later not be able to rectify the situation.  If I start X on the
  internal display only, connect the external monitor and then extend the
  viewable area with grandr or the display applet everything works fine.
