Comment 28 for bug 427846

Fabio,

I have not noticed any change to this issue on 10.04 or 10.10. A
dock/undock event does not cause the system to detect the addition or
removal of the displayport external monitor. An additional side note
would be that during a normal boot with the laptop in the dock and the
lid closed while connected to an external monitor always seems to use
a very low resolution by default. I've since gotten used to running
my own xrandr script during bootup and when KDE detects the
addition/removal of power. It is a nasty hack, but has worked for me.

v/r

If I go to "System Settings" and then "Display" the detected displays are refreshed and it fixes the resolution and enables/disables the external display. If KRandRTray is running, clicking on the icon will typically force a refresh the same as going to "Display" in "System Settings".
