Bug Description
On my MBP 6.2 the external display is not detected properly (It works fine with MacOSX, so no hardware issues).
Sometimes the display is found, sometimes not. After a reboot it is found more frequently than after wake from suspend.
If detected, the display gets extended (not a copy of the screen like on other OS's). This raises issues with mouse.
Also the avant bar gets screewed up regularly (because of screen metrics).
My internal display is 1650x1080, the external is 1024x768 (which may cause the avant problems).
My expectation how the thing works would be: Plug in an external monitor and see a resized copy of the desktop immediately. Configurable, the display might be extended. However, I do not expect to go to a control panel to detect a display and apply settings.
Also having an option offered that cannot be selected (Separate X-Window view) is not really an option. If selected, all window decoration and functionality is lost.
