Incorrect resolution when docking on ThinkPad T43

I have a ThinkPad T43 with Ubuntu Jaunty. Know that Gnome have a better support for changind display resolutino of external monitor I expect everything to work sweety.

Senario 1:
- Start the laptop when it's docked and the lid closed
- Launch into a user session
- The resolution is as expected -> 1920 x 1080 (the Maximum resolution of my external monitor)
- Open the lid
-> As expected the Laptop screen stay black
- Undock the laptop
-> Current behavior : The Laptop screen stay black
-> Expected behavior : The Laptopn streen to power-on

Senario 2:
- Start the laptop when it's undock and the lid open
- Launch into a user session
-> As expected, the resoltion of the screen is : 1400 x 1050
- Dock the laptop
- Try to change the resolution setting to 'enable' the external monitor
-> Current behavior : The external monitor cannot be set to 1920 x 1080 because it's not available.
-> Expected behavior : Resolution of external monitor need to be detect so that 1920 x 1080 is available.

[This is an automatic notification.]

A new version of the -ati driver is now available in Karmic.

This is a significant update to -ati which brings in kernel mode-setting
(currently disabled) and scores of fixes for DRI2, EXA, etc.

I've posted the new version of this driver to the following PPA,
would you mind testing it and seeing if it resolves the bug you
reported?

If you're not running this release of Ubuntu, you can try booting the Karmic
LiveCD and loading the PPA onto it, and then log out/in to restart X.
ISOs are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/

After testing Karmic, report back here whether it's still an issue or not,
and if it is please post a fresh Xorg.0.log and 'dmesg' output.

Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg'.
