Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I am using a Dell Latitude D610 laptop with a Dell monitor attached,
running the two screens with different windows on them. It works well,
except that several times, I have returned to my desk to discover a pop
up alert that tells me that it is now running in low graphics mode.
After that it mirrors both monitors with the same windows, and sets them
at the same resolution, forgetting that the plug in monitor can work at
a higher resolution. If I then reboot the computer, it goes back to the
way I had it before, with two separate monitors each doing their own
thing.
