Screen resolution does not fall back to default resolution when suspended with external monitor

[Leo]

My daily scenario:

Plug my laptop to external monitor through HDMI port.
Open Nvidia settings (dual monitor in ubuntu does not work recognize my external monitor) and set twinview, clone and turn of laptop screen to work only with external monitor at higher resolution.
If laptop is suspended in this configuration (closing lid) and then resumed without the external monitor plugged the screen does not fall back to default configuration and tries to use the external monitor resolution.

This behavior limits the functionality of a laptop in many situations (e.g. running late to a meeting). Falling back to default screen options would be the desired behavior. Not sure how this can be implemented if dual monitor does not detect my external screen and I have to use nvidia-settings every day.

Thanks and keep up the good work!!

This is a problem with the nvidia driver, which doesn't support the xrandr protocol. Drivers supporting xrandr have this ability already; the screen resolution falls back to the laptop's own screen if the external monitor is disconnected during suspend, as far as I know.
