Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
On a Dell X1 (i915GMS) and an externally connected Dell 2405fpw:
Since upgraded to intrepid, when I have the external display connected, Ubuntu boots up with the wrong resolution for the internal display. Should be 1280 x 768, but is 1024 x 768 (according to xrandr). It's also not the correct resolution for the external display, which would be 1920 x 1200.
If I unconnect the external display and reload X, I get the correct resolution.
This problem has been confirmed for several combinations of displays (see comments). I wonder if there is any combination that works - maybe resolutions have to be exactly the same.
However, this is a regression from Hardy, which has the resolutions right on each of the tested combinations.

I can confirm this behavior but please also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/ Xorg.0. log. After login the resolution could be set through screen resolution which is restored every session.
