Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I'm using a Dell Latitude E6400 (Intel 4500MHD) with a docking station. When booting up while docked, the external monitor is enabled but using the wrong resolution. When booting undocked and then docking the laptop, the correct resolution for the external monitor cannot be set.
LVDS is the internal display, HDMI-1 is the dvi-output of the docking station.
Using Ubuntu 8.10 beta (updated it today) with xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu1.
Expected behaviour:
- Boot the laptop while docked, lid is closed
- External monitor is enabled using its native resolution (1600x1200)
- Internal display is disabled
Actual behaviour:
- Boot the laptop while docked, lid is closed
- External monitor is enabled using the internal display's native resolution (1440x900)
- Internal display is enabled
Expected behaviour:
- Boot the laptop while not docked, lid open
- Internal display is enabled
- Close lid, dock the laptop
- External monitor is enabled using its native resolution (1600x1200), internal display is disabled
Actual behaviour:
- Boot the laptop while not docked, lid open
- Internal display is enabled
- Close lid, dock the laptop
- External monitor is not being enabled
So there are two problems:
- When docking/undocking the monitors are not automatically enabled/disabled
- The wrong resolution is set for the external monitor when booting docked

Update: Now the internal display is correctly disabled and the external display is set to its correct native resolution when gnome has started up (docked boot, haven't tried an undocked boot). The login screen still exhibits the original wrong behaviour, but this is far better than before.
