"Could you elaborate as to what you mean by "works somehow" and why it doesn't seem suitable?"
External monitor is a 1600x1200 LCD, laptop monitor is 1024x768.
I've used "xrandr --output VGA --off" to turn off and it was OK.
Traditional behavior of switch video button is external monitor accomodates to laptop native monitor resolution.This is also the default configuration with "intel" driver in Gutsy. But, after turning off, I haven't found a easy way to get it again this way with xrandr.
I've used "xrandr --output VGA --auto" which gets external monitor resolution 1600x1200 but also change the laptop native monitor (1024x768) to a virtual view of a 1600x1200 screen.
Is there a (not complex) way to tell the external monitor to show a 1024x768 resolution?
